Bowel cancer is the second most common cancer in Europe. The great majority of colon cancers are sporadic, and only 5 % are associated with a recognized familial pattern of inheritance. Complete flexible colonoscopy is the gold standard in the early detection of colorectal neoplasia. Patients present with alteration in bowel habit, frank rectal bleeding, or anemia. Symptoms such as intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting are often secondary to partial obstruction or peritoneal dissemination.

Primary treatment for colon cancer is surgical resection of the primary and lymph nodes. Open and laparoscopic approaches are equally safe. Chemotherapy improves outcome but the prerequisite for adjuvant therapy is complete removal of the primary tumor. Neoadjuvant treatment is debated.
