Article Synopsis
- - Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant public health issue globally and is the third most common cancer, with limited epidemiological data in northern Morocco; this study aims to fill that gap by examining CRC characteristics in the region.
- - The retrospective study at the Ahmed Ben Zayed Al Nahyan Regional Oncology Center identified 142 CRC patients from 2017 to 2019, revealing a mean age of 58 years, predominantly affected males, and a high incidence of rectal tumors (44%).
- - Most patients were diagnosed at advanced stages (83%), with liver metastasis being the most common, highlighting the need for larger studies to better understand CRC's impact in Morocco and inform future interventions.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer type and the second cause of death worldwide. The advancement in understanding molecular pathways involved in CRC has led to new classifications based on the molecular characteristics of each tumor and also improved CRC management through the integration of targeted therapy into clinical practice. In this review, we will present the main molecular pathways involved in CRC carcinogenesis, the molecular classifications.
