Colorectal carcinoma

lColorectal cancinoma is a malignant cancer that ranks third among the world's most common malignancies. In 2012, almost 1.4 million new cases were diagnosed worldwide. [1] In the Czech Republic, the incidence of colorectal carcinoma is increasing from year to year. [2] In addition to a high and constantly increasing incidence, the disease also has a high mortalit y caused mainly by the predominant diagnosis of the disease only in advanced stages, when treatment procedures are limited. Therefore, today there is an effort for effective screening for people over 50 years of age. In terms of prognosis and treatment, it is appropriate to distinguish between colorectal carcinoma, rectosigma and rectal carcinoma.
