Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting and well written article that has important implications for
colorectal cancer strategies in Ireland. My only comment is that the title is rather
misleading as increasing mortality was only seen in the rectal cancer.
Level of interest: An article of outstanding merit and interest in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
