A strong, statistically significant negative correlation between a patient\u2019s age and his\/her awareness of the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer was noted (p&lt;0.001; r= \u22120.51). The study demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between the occurrence of neoplasms in a patient\u2019s family (p=0.009) or, more specifically, the occurrence of colorectal cancer (p=0.008), and the awareness of the prevention programme. The women\u2019s group was characterised by statistically significantly greater awareness of colonoscopy as a screening examination (p=0.004).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Patients need more information on colorectal cancer, its risk factors, prevention, the treatment process, and postoperative care.
