Abstract		Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in Slovenia.Its incidence has been rising in the last decades and, in 2002, it was 68.5/100,000 in males and 49.8/100,000 in females. The relative five-year survival is rising, even though the majority of cases are still discovered in the advanced stage of the disease, with local or distant metastases, rendering prognosis poorer in spite of the modern combined modalities of treatment. If diagnosed and surgically removed in its early stage, colorectal cancer is a curable disease. Results of a several studies on primary prevention of colorectal cancer are presented and measures that should be taken up in our society against the disease are proposed. For the long-term success, sufficient awareness in the society and realisation of recommendations are necessary.
Summary		Rak debelega črevesa in danke je drugi najpogostejši vzrok smrti zaradi raka v Sloveniji. Njegova incidenca v zadnjih desetletjih raste. Leta 2002 je bila njegova incidenčna stopnja pri moških 2002 68,5/100.000, pri ženskah pa 49,8/100.000. Relativno petletno preživetje bolnikov se veča, kljub temu, da je še vedno večina novih primerov odkritih v napredovalnem stadiju, z lokalnimi ali oddaljenimi zasevki, ko je prognoza kljub kombiniranim oblikam zdravljenja slabša. Bolnika je mogoče pozdraviti le, če je rak odkrit in kirurško odstranjen v zgodnji razvojni stopnji. Predstavljamo izsledke sodobnih raziskav o preprečevanju raka debelega črevesa in danke ter možnosti za primarno preventivo tudi v našem okolju. Za dolgoročni uspeh bo potrebna primerna ozaveščenost prebivalstva in udejanjanje priporočil.
