EXPERIENCE IN THE TREATMENT OF COLORECTAL CANCER IN THE ARAL SEA REGION

Abstract

In the structure of oncological morbidity colorectal cancer ranks the fourth in the world and its proportion in the general structure of morbidity is from 2 to 10%. Approximately 600,000 new cases are reported worldwide each year. Despite the fact that colorectal cancer has many symptoms, up to 80% of patients are admitted to the clinic with stages III and IV of the disease, and every third patient among the operated patients is diagnosed with distant metastases, mainly to the liver (80%) and rarely to other organs (lungs, ovaries, bones, and brain).
