dc.description.abstractColorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in Malta. On average, between 2012-2014, 259 persons have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 110 persons died each year. It is a disease of the Western world. The need to target colorectal cancer from prevention through physical exercise and healthy eating, to earlier diagnosis and treatment, through organised screening programmes and fast track referral systems and advanced treatment protocols is crucial to reduce incidence and improve survival.en_GB
