This study aimed to describe the characteristics and trends of colorectal cancer registered in Aden Cancer Registry.
A retrospective analysis of all registered cancers (1735) was performed at Aden Cancer Center, University of Aden, Aden, Yemen from the years 1997-2001, to describe colorectal cancers with regards to age, sex and residency distribution, subsites and histopathology, and incidence rates.
The results indicate that digestive system cancers are the most common cancers (17.1%); and colorectal cancer (28%) is the most common of these. Developing countries characteristics of this cancer are clear. These include a relatively high proportion of early-onset tumor (19.3% of cases were <40 years), and left sided subsite distribution (49.4% of cases were in the rectum and rectosigmoid junction).
Further analytical studies, to address the community-related risk factors, public education, and screening programs for colorectal cancer are mandatory.
本研究旨在描述亚丁癌症登记处登记的结直肠癌的特征和趋势。
对1997年至2001年期间也门亚丁大学亚丁癌症中心登记的所有癌症病例(1735例)进行回顾性分析,以描述结直肠癌在年龄、性别和居住分布、亚部位和组织病理学以及发病率方面的情况。
结果表明,消化系统癌症是最常见的癌症(17.1%);其中结直肠癌最为常见(28%)。这种癌症的发展中国家特征明显。这些特征包括早发性肿瘤比例相对较高(19.3%的病例年龄<40岁),以及左侧亚部位分布(49.4%的病例位于直肠和直肠乙状结肠交界处)。
必须开展进一步的分析研究,以解决与社区相关的危险因素、公众教育以及结直肠癌筛查项目等问题。
