Colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer (CR-CA) is a malignant tumor disease occupying the third position among the most frequently occurring malignancies worldwide. In 2012, nearly 1.4 million new cases were diagnosed worldwide. In the Czech Republic, the incidence of KR-CA is increasing year by year. In addition to a high and constantly rising incidence, this disease also has a high mortality rate, mainly caused by the prevailing diagnosis of the disease only in advanced stages, when treatment procedures are limited. That is why today there is an effort to effectively screen people over the age of 50. From the point of view of prognosis and treatment, it is appropriate to differentiate colon cancer and rectosigmum and rectal cancer.
