Correction to: British Journal of Cancer https://doi.org/10.1038/s41416-023-02440-6, published online 23 September 2023

In this article table 1 has been given erroneously:

Table 1 Baseline characteristics of included patients with colon (N = 70,705) or rectal (N = 41,991) cancer in England between 2012 and 2016.

It should be read:

Table 1 Baseline characteristics of included patients with colon (N = 70,705) or rectal (N = 41,991) cancer in England between 2012 and 2016.

The original article has been corrected.
