The information presented reflects findings from the peer-review literature and government documentation, as well as interviews with cancer and CRC specialists. Topics such as epidemiology, expenditure, CRC screening, pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical treatment are discussed in this paper. Furthermore, insights into the German reimbursement system with regard to cancer management as well as regulatory aspects are presented.
