Abstract
Colorectal carcinomas (CRC) are one of the leading causes of cancer deaths, but their clinicopathological characteristics are not well documented in Turkish population. We retrospectively analyzed 535 resection specimens of patients diagnosed with primary CRC between the years of 2000-2007, to refine the pathological criteria for the routine analyses of colorectal cancer specimens. We also analysed that how mucin content can effect biological behavior in CRC cases.

Mean number of lymph node metastases (LNM) was associated with higher invasion levels; 1,70 for T2, 1,89 for T3 and 2,01 for T4
