Statement of the Problem:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and its incidence is
reported to be increasing probably due to the acquisition of a western lifestyle.
Aim:
The aim of our research is to study the basic demography age, gender and anatomical location of the tumor in patients
with CRC registered in National Cancer Center of Sabratha from January to December 2013.
Methods:
A retrospective study has been conducted to find the age, gender, site of lesion, clinical presentation, type of
surgery, histology of lesion of colorectal cancer patients registered in National Cancer Institute of Sabratha between January
to December 2013.
Results:
During Jan-Dec 2013, 135 cases of adenocarcinoma of colorectal were identified from our registry. The demographic
characteristics of the patients are shown in Table 1. Age-stratified incidence of CRC showed that majority of the cases were in
the age group 51-60 years (31.9%), followed by 41-50 years (21.5%). There were 13 (9.6%) cases of CRC below the age of 40
years. Ninety-five (70.5%) patients presented with bleeding per rectum, 86 (63.7%) had lost significant weight, 73 (52%) had
constipation, 70 (51.8%) had anorexia and another 49 (36%) had a palpable mass.
Conclusion:
Our finding is comparable to that of international figures: in that most of the CRCs were in distal parts, the
incidence of CRC increases with age and the predominance of male.
