Abstrakt:	Background: Colorectal carcinoma is second commonest cancer causing death in Kosova. Methodology: In our study we present diagnostic methods, treatment, localization and laboratory findings in 155 patients, during 4 year period in patients with colorectal carcinomas treated in our clinic. Results: Ninety four 94 (61.4%) of patients were male gender and 59 (38.6%) were female. Eritrosedimentation was elevated in 103 (67.3%) of patients, number of white blood cells was increased in 21 (7.2%) of patients and high level of glycemia is present in 11 (7.2%) of patients. The most involved age is from 41-50 years. The most common site of involvement was the rectum in 79 (51.6%), localization in sigma was in 37 (23.5%), the transverse colon in 21 (13.7%) of cases and the ascendant colon in 18 (11.1%) patients. Adenocarcinoma (98%) was the most common histiotype. Conclusion: We concluded, that all patients, especially with positive familial history must begin screening in age 40, during which colorectal carcinoma can be diagnosed in an early stage.
