Abstract | The risk of colorectal cancer begins to increase after the age of 40 and rises sharply at the ages of 50 to 55. Despite advances in surgical techniques and adjuvant therapy, there has been only a modest improvement in survival of patients with advanced neoplasms. Hence, effective primary and secondary preventive approaches must be developed to reduce the morbidity and mortality from colorectal cancer. | |
