Abstract
Over the past two decades, the survival of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) has increased constantly [1, 2]. No single advancement is responsible for this improvement, but a variety of essential elements like screening, better selection of patients including assessment by multidisciplinary teams (MDT), improved understanding of biology, better surgical techniques, improved postoperative care, and regular follow-up has together with an increased use of effective systemic therapy in the adjuvant and the palliative setting added to the overall survival benefit.
