Abstract

This article presents a clinical case of a patient with colorectal cancer (CRC), who was diagnosed at the stage of a metastatic generalized process, due to a long asymptomatic course, non-specific symptoms and the difficulty of primary diagnosis. The features of management, as well as the possibilities of treating a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) at the present stage, are considered. This clinical observation demonstrates the relevance of the search for new diagnostic methods, treatment regimens and principles for the prevention of CRC.
