Abstract:
Colorectal cancer is leading digestive cancer in western countries and United States and second fatal malignance, after lung cancer. 190,000 people die from colonic cancer in Europe every year. By the time of diagnosis, 25% patients are presented with metastases. Overall surveilance is low, 20-25%. That number is influenced by disease extension in the time of diagnosis, comorbidity, age of patient. The worst prognosis is in patients with diseases presented with urgent complications (bowel perforation or bowel obstruction). Colonoscopy is method of greatest potential in decreasing the mortality of colorectal cancer.
