Colorectal cancer took the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States of America and the fifth leading cause of cancer death in Colombia and thus becomespublic health problem. 98% of colorectal cancers are adenocarcinomas and the
other 2% are lymphomas, carcinoids, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors, the clinical manifestations are related to the size and location of the lesion, 80% of reported cases of CRC not present a hereditary component making them sporadic CRC. The CRC is associated with the accumulation of mutations in tumor suppressor genes (p53, APC, SMAD, SCC, NM23), oncogenes (MYC and RAS) and DNA repair genes (MSH1, MSH6 and MLH2) these genetic alterations make this type of cancer a polygenic disorder, making it a classic model for studying the genetic basis of cancer.
