This document provides information about colorectal cancer including its pathophysiology, treatment options, nursing interventions, and health promotion strategies. Colorectal cancer begins as abnormal cell growth in the colon or rectum. It can be treated surgically through procedures like polypectomy or resection or with pharmacological therapies. Nurses help manage side effects like fatigue, pain, and skin breakdown. Education about self-care strategies is important for patients with colostomies.

Prepared by: John Carlo P. Toledo SAC, BSN According to Cancer.net colorectal cancer states that: Colorectal cancer begins when healthy cells in the lining of the colon or rectum change and grow out of control, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be cancerous or benign.
Colorectal cancer can begin in either the colon or the rectum.
Cancer that begins in the colon is called colon cancer. Cancer that begins in the rectum is called rectal cancer. Most colon and rectal cancers are a type of tumor called adenocarcinoma Cancer is a disease characterized by the unchecked division and survival of abnormal cells. When this type of abnormal growth occurs in the colon or rectum, it is called colorectal cancer (CRC).

Global patterns and trends in colorectal
cancer incidence and mortality
ABSTRACT Objective : The global burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) is expected to increase by 60% to more than 2.2 million new cases and 1.1 million deaths by 2030. In this study, we aim to describe the recent CRC incidence and mortality patterns and trends linking the findings to the prospects of reducing the burden through cancer prevention and care REFERENCES • https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/colorectal-cancer/introduction • 2015 PHILIPPINE CANCER FACTS and ESTIMATES Adriano V Laudico, MD,Maria Rica Mirasol-Lumague, MD ,Victoria Medina ,Cynthia A Mapua, MS Francisco G Valenzuela ,Eero Pukkala, PhD • Oncology Nursing 5th Edition by Martha E.
