Abstract		Malignant diseases represent a serious public health problem in the world as well in Slovenia. Colorectal carcinoma is second leading cause of mortality due to malignancies. The incidence of colorectal carcinoma is rising in the past few years. In spite of better five years survival rates in patients with the disease, there are many patients diagnosed in advanced stages with worse prognosis. Early detection of colorectal carcinoma has not been introduced in a systematic way. There is no doubt, that screening is feasible in family practice. Family doctors have a unique role in preventing and early detection of colorectal carcinoma. Guidelines for management of predisposing factors, for early detection of the disease and for healthier life style are an important tool in the hands of family doctors aiming to reduce morbidity and mortality due to colorectal carcinoma.
Summary		Rakave bolezni predstavljajo pomemben javno zdravstveni problem v svetovnem in tudi v slovenskem merilu. Rak debelega črevesa in danke je drugi najpogostejši vzrok smrti zaradi raka v Sloveniji, njegova incidenca pa je v zadnjih desetletjih v porastu. Kljub temu, da se relativno 5-letno preživetje bolnikov s to boleznijo daljša, jih še vedno največ odkrijemo, ko je bolezen v napredovanem stadiju in je prognoza slabša. Čeprav zgodnja diagnostika raka debelega črevesa in danke še vedno ni sistemsko urejena, ni nobenega dvoma, da je presajanje v družinski medicini izvedljivo in možno in da imajo ravno zdravniki družinske medicine najpomembnejšo vlogo pri preprečevanju in zgodnjem prepoznavanju te oblike raka. Ob tem so smernice za zgodnje odkrivanje kolerektalnega karcinoma, identifikacija dejavnikov tveganja in priporočila za zdrav vedenjski slog pomembna orodja v rokah zdravnikov družinske medicine v prizadevanju za zmanjšanje obolevnosti in umirljivosti zaradi raka debelega črevesa in danke.
