The Cyprus Gastroenterological Society, with the alliance of Medochemie Pharmaceuticals and the support of the Pancyprian Medical Association, has launched an awareness campaign on colorectal cancer, which has 350 cases every year, as part of the Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
As stated in an announcement by the organisers, colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, while in Cyprus it is the third most common cancer in both men and women. The disease affects both men and women, mainly after the age of 50 and is responsible for the most deaths in Europe after lung cancer, it noted.
