Abstract
Purpose: The western lifestyle increases risk of colorectal cancer by nutritional and socioeconomic factors. Colorectal cancer is a frequent disease and increases the overall mortality rate. It can be pre-ventable from earlier to late-stage and can be detected earlier, specifically if there is a good screening program. The study aims to prospectively analyze the prevalence of colorectal cancer in the Makkah region, Saudi Arabia from January 2013 to December 2015.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used undertaking 127 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer in four government hospitals in Makkah Al-Mukarramah, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected prospectively from Al-Noor Specialist Hospital (NSH), King Faisal Hospital (KFH), King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital (KAUH) and Heraa General Hospital (HGH). Chi-square analysis and One-Way ANOVA were used to analyze the data.
Results: The specimens of majority of patients were collected from the endoscopic unit (60.6%) and (39.4%) from the operation room (OR). Most tumors (73.2%) were located in the colon, of which 22.8% where located in the right colon, 42.5% in the left colon and 7.9% of the tumors, the location was not labelled. No statistically significant difference was found between demographics and anatomi-cal location.
Conclusion:Colorectal cancer is considered as a preventable tumor because the lesions emerge from precancerous polyps and other identifiable procedures. Therefore, every effort must be.
