According to the WHO, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, with approximately 1.9 million new cases in 2020. In Germany alone, about 61.000 people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer every year, of which almost 25.000 die each year. The majority of these deaths could be prevented with appropriate screening, because colorectal cancer detected at an early stage is almost always curable!
