Continuing Education Activity
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common diagnosis and second deadliest malignancy for both sexes combined. The incidence of new cases and mortality has been steadily declining for the past years, except for younger adults (younger than 50 years), possibly related to an increase in cancer screening and better therapy modalities. This activity outlines the etiology, epidemiology, clinical staging and stage-wise treatment of colon cancer.
