Colorectal Cancer, Colon Neoplasia, Colon Tumor, Colon AdenocarcinomaAbstract
Introduction: colorectal cancer (CRC) causes high morbidity and mortality worldwide, in Cuba, and in Matanzas. Symptoms vary depending on the location of the tumor and the stage of the disease.
Objective: to determine the behavior of advanced colorectal cancer diagnosed in the Gastroenterology Department.
Methods: a descriptive, prospective study was conducted at the Faustino Pérez Provincial Clinical and Surgical Teaching Hospital in Matanzas, from January to December 2023. The sample consisted of 102 patients with a clinical, endoscopic, and histological diagnosis of CRC, seen in a multidisciplinary gastrointestinal consultation. Variables such as age group, sex, risk factors, presentation, endoscopic and histological type of lesion, location, stage, and treatment were analyzed. Data were collected on a spreadsheet prepared by the authors.
Results: the predominant group was male, aged 61 to 80 years, with poor lifestyle habits and attitudes such as smoking, frequent alcohol consumption, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, low intake of fruits, grains, and vegetables, and consumption of red beans more than three times a week. The predominant presentation was anemia, and the most common location was the rectosigmoid colon. The most common type of ulcerated, circumscribed tumor was the endoscopy. Adenocarcinoma was the most common histological type in patients with stage II disease who had curative surgical treatment.
Conclusions: the results demonstrated that CRC continues to be a health problem in Matanzas, but it can be diagnosed in early stages of the disease, with curative treatment options available.
