Značaj ranog otkrivanja raka debelog crijeva
Štimac, Davor; Katičić, Miroslava; Kujundžić, Milan; Ljubičić, Neven; Poropat, Goran & Bokun, Tomislav
Tijekom posljednjih dvadesetak godina zabilježen je značajan porast učestalosti i
smrtnosti od kolorektalnog karcinoma. Unatoč stručnom i znanstvenom napretku medicine,
nije se bitno promijenila činjenica da bolesnici žive dulje od pet godina. Spoznaja da je adekvatnom
organizacijom zdravstvene skrbi i prevencijom moguće umanjiti ove poražavajuće
podatke, potaknula je pokretanje nacionalnih programa s ciljem ranog otkrivanja karcinoma
debelog crijeva. Nova saznanja na području dijagnostike i endoskopije omogućuju brže i sigurnije
postavljanje dijagnoze. Osnovu liječenja čini kirurško liječenje poduprto stalnim tehničkim
napretkom, a dodatnu i ne manje bitnu ulogu ima nova i sve učinkovitija kemoterapija
i radioterapija.
Navedene metode i saznanja ukazuju na mogućnost izlječenja sve većeg broja
bolesnika i uspjeh u borbi protiv karcinoma debelog crijeva.

Importance of early detection of colorectal cancer
Štimac, Davor; Katičić, Miroslava; Kujundžić, Milan; Ljubičić, Neven; Poropat, Goran & Bokun, Tomislav
Abstract
A significant increase in the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer has
been detected during the last twenty years. Despite the progress in medical practice and
science there has been no indicative change in the 5-year survival of patients. The
knowledge that an adequate health care organization and prevention can decrease these
defeating data, prompted the start of national programs for early detection of colorectal
cancer. New cognitions in the fields of diagnostics and endoscopy make diagnosis faster and
more accurate. Surgical therapy, which is supported by constant technical progress,
represents the basis of cancer treatment, while the new and more effective chemotherapy
and radiotherapy have an additional and important therapeutical role. The above mentioned
methods and knowledge indicate that there is a possibilty in curing a large number of
patients and succeeding in the struggle against colorectal cancer.
