Anamnestic predictors of colorectal cancer

Abstract

Aim to study the frequency, expression and simultaneity of risk factors for colorectal cancer in hospital patients. Materials and methods. The statistics of 1690 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients were retrospectively studied. Clinical signs were assessed according to the case histories of 180 patients with colorectal cancer, selected by random sampling and systematic sampling (every tenth of the total population of all patients with CRC). Questioning patients with CRC, based on their informed consent, studied risk factors in 80 people (random sample; every second of the average annual number of patients with CRC). Results. The share of women was 52.5%, men - 47.5%. The average age of patients is 69 (61-77) years. Before the manifestation of colorectal cancer, patients had an overweight in 40.9% of cases, obesity in 39.4% of cases. Women with colorectal cancer more often than men had type 2 diabetes mellitus 4 times (p = 0.015), cholecystectomy 2.5 times (p = 0.09), combined pathology 3 times (p = 0.24) and prolonged history of IBD 5 times (p <0.05). In men with colorectal cancer, hypodynamia (5 times, p = 0.003) and smoking (2 times, p = 0.23) occurred more often than in women. Conclusion. Risk factors for colorectal cancer were, 55 years of age, overweight or obesity, type 2 diabetes.
