ABSTRACT

Colorectal cancer (CCR) is the third most common cancer worldwide in men and women, the second largest cause of death related to cancer, and the main cause of death in gastrointestinal cancer. The choice of treatment for colorectal cancer can depend on several factors, including the patient’s health, the size of the tumor, and its location. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most deadly and fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. Colorectal cancer screening has been proven to greatly reduce mortality rates that have declined in many longstanding as well as newly economically developed countries. The individual risk of colorectal cancer is essentially dependent on non- modifiable dispositional factors such as age, sex, and family history as well as the in principle modifiable exposure to risk factors. All patients received best supportive care, which was defined as those measures designed to provide palliation of symptoms and improve quality of life as much as possible. Because the patients had cancer that was refractory to all recommended chemotherapy, further chemotherapy or other antineoplastic therapy was not intended, although some patients did receive therapy after the completion of protocol procedure.
