Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequently observed neoplasms in the world. It develops from intraepithelial neoplasia of the colorectal mucosa, and these precursor lesions are also known as adenoma. As the precursor lesion is known and can be detected easily, efficient screening strategies are available for a reliable prevention of colorectal adenocarcinoma, e.g. by colonoscopy.
