Enzymatic and Cytogenetic Study on Patients with Colon Cancer

Colorectal cancer

Abstract

Globally cancer is the second leading cause of death. Lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and liver cancer are the most common types of cancer in men, while breast, colorectal, lung, cervix and thyroid cancer are the most common among women. The cancer burden can also be reduced through early detection of cancer and management of patients who develop cancer. Many cancers have a high chance of cure if diagnosed early and treated adequately. In Iraq, colorectal cancer is the third cancer type.
