Core Tip |
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common health problem, causing a significant burden in terms of morbidity and mortality. However, if detected early, the disease is highly curable. Primary care physicians are therefore in a unique position to enhance prevention and prompt diagnosis. The purpose of this paper was to review the main topics of CRC in the current literature to provide a more comprehensive understanding of its pathogenesis, risk and protective factors, as well as screening techniques. |
