Abstract

Colorectal carcinoma is a very common malignancy in most western countries. Based on data from National Cancer Institute in 2008, it is estimated that 148,810 new cases would be diagnosed (108,070 colon, 40,740 rectal) in the United States The combined mortality is estimated to be 49,960, making colorectal carcinoma the second most common cause of combined male and female mortality after lung cancer and the most common solid tumor after skin malignancies.
