ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the prevalence of colorectal cancer in patients who underwent colon surgery.
Material and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2006 to December 2010 at Servicio de Cirugia General del Hospital Regional Dr. Manuel Cardenas de la Vega in Culiacan, Sinaloa. Variables registered were age, gender, anatomical location, type of surgical procedure and histological grade. Information was collected from medical records and pathology department of the hospital. The results of categorical variables were expressed as frequencies and percentages and Chi-square exact test for inferences was used. Numerical variables were shown in mean and standard deviation. It was compared the average age between patients with and without colorectal cancer with the Student t-test. It included a 95% confidence interval. The data were analyzed using SPSS v15.
Results: The sample consisted of 92 patients underwent colon surgery, of which 56 (60.9%) were males and 36 (39.1%) female, with a mean age of 57.8 ± 12.3 years. There were 32 cases of colorectal cancer, resulting in a prevalence of 34.8% (95% CI 25.1-45.4) for the study group; 38.9% of the patients were women and 32.1% were men. This result did not show significant differences (
p = 0.654). The most common anatomical location of colorectal cancer was in rectum with 12 cases (37.5%), sigmoid with 11 cases (34.4%); 93.9% of the patients had adenocarcinomas, of which, 81.3% were moderately differentiated.
Conclusions: The prevalence observed in this study was of 34.8% of colorectal cancer in patients operated of colon. The frequency in sort, anatomical situation and hystopathologic ancestry was similar to the reported in previous studies around the world.
