Core Tip	A holistic assessment of a patient diagnosed with colorectal cancer is essential before deciding on the subsequent medical management of the disease. This allows for the optimization of medical outcomes and provides patient-centered care. This approach considers not only the pathology of the disease but also the patient's physiological status, psychosocial needs, and personal preferences.
