Abstract

Colon cancer (CC) is among the most frequently diagnosed cancers in the Western world. It is considered as a two entity cancer: right-sided colon cancer (RCC) and left-sided colon cancer (LCC); where RCC is characterized by a high grade tumor and a higher tumor stage at diagnosis, thus a worst prognosis. Albania, a developing country, has a relatively low incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC), 9.3 per 100 000 inhabitants; CC encompasses about 50% of all CRC cases. 1 The aim of this study is to find out whether these differences are present in our CC patients.
