| description | Colorectal cancer is an important health problem with a significant
impact on the individual and society. Malignancy (including colorectal
cancer) is usually slightly symptomatic in its initial stages. This causes
cancer to be discovered in some patients accidentally (either through
screening tests in predisposed individuals or during routine investigations
for other diseases), while in other patients the colorectal cancer is
discovered in late stages, when the symptoms are much more intense due
to complications. Unfortunately, such advanced cases of the disease have
high rates of morbidity and mortality even with treatment. Current
treatment methods are usually complex, interdisciplinary, causing
significant suffering (physical, mental) to the individual, while the cost
of treatment per patient seems to be extremely high. Until finding
therapeutic methods that are effective and accessible to most patients
with advanced colorectal cancer, several methods of prophylaxis and
early diagnosis should be considered, to reduce as much as possible the
devastating impact of this disease. The purpose of this review is to
present literature data regarding the current methods of diagnosis and
treatment of patients presenting to the doctor with colorectal cancer in
advanced stages of complications. |
