•Definition
Colorectal Carcinoma
A malignant epithelial tumour of the colon or rectum. Only tumours that have penetrated through muscularis mucosae into submucosa are considered malignant at this site.
April,2008
Epidemiology and Etiology• One of the commonest forms of malignancy in developed countries.
• Environmental factors play the most important etiological role.

WORSE PROGNOSIS
April,2008
It doesn’t spread via lymph or blood before it penetrate through the muscularis mucosae--can be cured by resection of the lesion !
Lymphatic spread to the regional LN
Hematogenous spread to the liver, lungs etc. THE EXTENT OF SPREAD
THROUGH THE BOWEL WALL AND THE PRESENCE OF LYMPH NODE METASTASES ARE THE MAJOR PROGRESTIC FACTORS.
