Abstract		The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Globocan Database for the year 2002 shows that colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent gastrointestinal tract tumours throughout the world; therefore; its screening for early diagnosis would be most important. Cases of colorectal cancer are distributed equally in Europe, Asia and North America. In Slovenia, more than 1100 new cases of colorectal cancer are registered per year. Its incidence rate in 2003 was 60/100.000, which is comparable with other European countries. Like in many countries around the world, the incidence rate in both sexes is quite similar, placing colorectal cancer among the three leading cancer sites in males and females. As it has been shown in several prospective controlled studies, that screening decreases mortality, medical associations and institutions in Slovenia strongly support the idea of an organized population-based screening for colorectal cancer. They are in favour of the health insurance coverage of costs to allow even and easy accessibility. The epidemiological data for colorectal cancer in Slovenia are presented and compared with the data from the world.
Summary		Iz podatkovne baze Globocan Mednarodne agencije za raziskovanje raka za leto 2002 je razvidno, da je rak debelega črevesa in danke eden od najpogostejših rakov prebavne cevi. Porazdelitev raka debelega črevesa in danke je približno enaka v Evropi, Severni Ameriki in Aziji. V Sloveniji je letno odkritih približno 1100 novih bolnikov s tem rakom; njihova incidenčna stopnja - 60/100.000 v letu 2003 - pa je podobna kot v drugih državah Evrope. Tudi po tem, da ni bistveno različna med spoloma, Slovenija ne odstopa od številnih drugih držav sveta. Zaradi pogostosti, veliki umrljivosti in preprečljivosti raka debelega črevesa in danke se slovenske zdravstvene organizacije, skladno s svetovnimi gibanji, zavzemajo za njegovo zgodnje odkrivanje s presejalnimi testi in za povečanje sredstev zdravstvenih zavarovalnic, namenjenih zgodnjemu odkrivanju raka. Številne primerjalne prospektivne raziskave so namreč pokazale, da zgodnje odkrivanje bistveno zmanjša smrtnost zaradi raka debelega črevesa in danke. Predstavljene so epidemiološke značilnosti raka debelega črevesa in danke na slovenskem in po svetu.
