- Abstract
This paper is a review of colon cancer management in Latin America. We have focused on the current literature and especially the guidelines used in Brazil that show our experience in terms of colon cancer management. Latin America has great contrasts regarding cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Some countries, such as Brazil, have unified health care systems, which are funded by the government and so are available to the entire population, as well as private health plans. Therefore, we are always looking for excellence in medicine based on a multi-disciplinary approach.
