BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: According to the Saudi Cancer Incidence Report 2020, colon cancer ranks number one in terms of incidence in the country. To assess awareness about its prevention, we aimed to assess the level of awareness and screening practices.
METHOD
A cross-sectional study was conducted in the three governorates of Aljouf region, Sakaka, Tabarjal, and Qurayyat, one mall and one souq (bazaar) were randomly selected in each of these to cover all different social groups. We surveyed 422 participants using a structured questionnaire to gather information regarding socio-demographic characteristics, general knowledge about colon cancer and its signs and symptoms, and risk factors of colon cancer.
RESULTS
While 71% of participants believed that early screening lowers the risk of colon cancer, more than half of respondents (52.8%) demonstrated inadequate knowledge about the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer.
CONCLUSION
The knowledge regarding colorectal cancer needs to be raised in the general population.
背景与目的
根据《2020年沙特癌症发病率报告》，结肠癌在该国的发病率排名第一。为评估对其预防的知晓情况，我们旨在评估知晓水平和筛查实践。
方法
在阿尔朱夫地区的三个省份萨卡卡、塔巴贾尔和古赖亚特进行了一项横断面研究，在每个省份随机选择一个购物中心和一个露天市场（集市），以覆盖所有不同社会群体。我们使用结构化问卷对422名参与者进行了调查，以收集有关社会人口特征、结肠癌及其体征和症状的一般知识以及结肠癌危险因素的信息。
结果
虽然71%的参与者认为早期筛查可降低患结肠癌的风险，但超过一半的受访者（52.8%）对结直肠癌的体征和症状了解不足。
结论
普通人群中关于结直肠癌的知识需要提高。
