“…Our findings resemble those reported in low incidence populations, such as Thailand, India, and Chile [87]. Conversely, our findings differ from the work of Chalya et al [88] and other studies done in Africa where males were the primary CRC group [89–91]. These latter findings are similar to findings from those seen in high-risk populations and, of note, in previously low-risk populations currently experiencing a rising CRC incidence (i.e., Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore) [80].…”

Background. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a growing public health concern with increasing rates in countries with previously known low incidence. This study determined pattern and distribution of CRC in Tanzania and identified hot spots in case distribution. Methods. A retrospective chart audit reviewed hospital registers and patient files from two national institutions. Descriptive statistics, Chi square (χ 2) tests, and regression analyses were employed and augmented by data visualization to display risk variable differences. Results. CRC cases increased sixfold in the last decade in Tanzania. There was a 1.5% decrease in incidences levels of rectal cancer and 2% increase for colon cancer every year from 2005 to 2015. Nearly half of patients listed Dar es Salaam as their primary residence. CRC was equally distributed between males (50.06%) and females (49.94%), although gender likelihood of diagnosis type (i.e., rectal or colon) was significantly different (P = 0.027). More than 60% of patients were between 40 and 69 years. Conclusions. Age (P = 0.0183) and time (P = 0.004) but not gender (P = 0.0864) were significantly associated with rectal cancer in a retrospective study in Tanzania. Gender (P = 0.0405), age (P = 0.0015), and time (P = 0.0075) were all significantly associated with colon cancer in this study. This retrospective study found that colon cancer is more prevalent among males at a relatively younger age than rectal cancer. Further, our study showed that although more patients were diagnosed with rectal cancer, the trend has shown that colon cancer is increasing at a faster rate.

“…[8][9]18 This contrasts the findings by Edino et al in Kano (Northern Nigeria) who reported that 72% occurred in patients below fifty years of age. 19 About 23% of the colorectal tumours in the present series occurred below forty years of age, a figure which is lower than existing studies from other parts of Nigeria with figures ranging between 35-42%. [7][8] In consonance with previous studies however, the predominant histological type in this series is adenocarcinoma with location in the distal colon and male sex preponderance.…”

A B S T R A C TColorectal cancer (CRC) in Nigeria used to be a rare disease. However, over the last 40 years it has gradually become a signifi cant health concern. Several publications on this disease from Nigeria have documented an increase in the incidence. To suggest possible and credible pathogenesis for the observed increase in CRC incidence in Nigeria, a search through AJOL, PubMed, and Google Scholar using search items like "colon cancer in Nigeria," "rectal cancer in Nigeria," and "CRC in Nigeria" was carried out. Also, a search for known risk factors in the development of CRC such as diet, carcinogens in red meat, alcohol, and polyposis coli syndromes were also initiated. Factors responsible for the increase in CRC incidence in Nigeria include poor refrigeration facilities resulting from poor electricity services; leading to deep-fried, smoked and charcoal-grilled meat. Other risk factors include an affi nity for consumption of offal, an increase in obesity, proliferation of fast food joints, and an increase in alcohol intake. It is unclear how long and large the factors that cause CRC in a patient will have to be present before developing the disease. A dietary intake of fresh, wholesome, non-processed, preservative and hydrocarbon free foods should be encouraged; while habits such as consumption of alcohol and cigarette smoking are discouraged.
