2 Introduction *Cytotoxic agents clinically and costeffective treatments Recently, monoclonal antibodies *2 d in females and the 4 th in males [average of 630 individuals annually in Lebanon in 2012] No vital statistics in terms of morbidity or mortality but its incidence rate, per , by colon and rectum sites, in 2015, was 17.6 and 7.5 respectively Mortality rates Advances in technology and colonoscopy examination, screening, diagnosis and improved surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy and palliative care survival benefits + symptom control and palliation *Henaine AM, Chahine G, Salameh P, Elias E, Massoud M, Hartmann D, Aulagner G, Armoiry X.
