The objective of this work is to evaluate the epidemiological profile of colorectal cancers, histologically proven over a 5-year period (2012-2016) in the Tlemcen region.
A retrospective study of 581 cases of colorectal cancer collected at the epidemiology department of the University Hospital Center (UHC) of Tlemcen between January 2012 and December 2016 was performed. Epidemiological data were processed using SPSS version 25 and Microsoft Excel 2010.
The epidemiological profile has shown that colorectal cancer in our region ranks 3 in both sexes. There were 322 men (55.4%) affected compared to 259 women (44.6%) with a sex ratio of 1.2. A predominance of males is noted in 50-60 age group, while for the female sex, the dominance is between 60-70 years old. The mean age of CRC occurrence was 60±13 years, with an extremity ranging from16 to 90. A significantly higher rate was recorded for rectal cancer (43.7%) followed by sigmoid colon (5.7%). Variable rates were recorded during the 5 years with a peak in 2014 (27.9%).
Regular analysis of these data, if supplemented with additional data on diagnostic modalities like circular RNA diagnostic, will contribute to the assessment of the impact over time of public policies on nationally organized CRC screening.
本研究旨在评估 5 年内(2012-2016 年)在特莱姆森地区经组织病理学证实的结直肠癌的流行病学特征。
回顾性分析了 2012 年 1 月至 2016 年 12 月期间在特莱姆森大学医院中心(UHC)流行病学系收集的 581 例结直肠癌病例。使用 SPSS 版本 25 和 Microsoft Excel 2010 处理流行病学数据。
流行病学特征显示,在本地区,结直肠癌在男女中均排名第 3。受影响的男性 322 例(55.4%),女性 259 例(44.6%),男女比例为 1.2。50-60 岁年龄组男性居多,而女性则在 60-70 岁年龄组居多。CRC 发病的平均年龄为 60±13 岁,极值范围为 16-90 岁。直肠癌(43.7%)的发病率明显较高,其次是乙状结肠癌(5.7%)。5 年来发病率不同,2014 年发病率最高(27.9%)。
定期分析这些数据,如果再结合诊断方式(如环状 RNA 诊断)等其他数据,将有助于评估国家组织的 CRC 筛查公共政策随时间推移的影响。
