UNLABELLED

Early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) has different clinical and pathological characteristics compared with late-onset CRC. Mortality rate as a postoperative outcome is a patient's postoperative outcome considered based on the state of life or death. The objective of this research is to analyse the comparison between clinicopathological aspect of early-onset vs. late-onset CRC as well as their correlation with the mortality rate in Indonesia to support global data.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The authors performed a case-control study on 170 subjects with CRC from November 2021 to November 2022 in a Tertiary Hospital in Bandung. Data were extracted from electronic medical records CRC Registry. Bivariate and correlation analyses were used to analyse the difference between variables using IBM SPSS 24.0. less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS

Anaemia and tumour location variables were significantly different in the early-onset group compared with the late-onset group (<0.001). It was also found that anaemia (<0.001), pathological features (<0.001), and tumour location (=0.013) had significantly low correlation with onset of CRC (r=0.325; r=0.397; r=0.342, respectively).

CONCLUSION

There is no statistically significant correlation between the clinicopathological features of CRC in both onset and mortality rates in this study.
