Colorectal cancer distribution in 220 Indian patients undergoing colonoscopy

Abstract

Almost one-third of the colorectal cancers in this series occurred in the seventh decade and were located distal to the splenic flexure.

Colorectal Carcinoma: Histopathological Analysis and Changing Trends in Various Parameters

“…Peedikayil et al also found most of the tumors distal to the splenic flexure. [8] In agreement with our study, Musthafa et al saw an overall proximal migration of CRC. [8] Also in the West a shift of tumor location to proximal parts of the colon is observed.…”

“…[8] In agreement with our study, Musthafa et al saw an overall proximal migration of CRC. [8] Also in the West a shift of tumor location to proximal parts of the colon is observed. [14] This trend has been noticed also in Asian countries like Korea and Japan.…”

“…[6] The mean age at presentation in our study was 57 years. In concordance with our study, Efremidou et al [7] observed a higher frequency of CRC in older age (p =0.002), similarly Musthafa et al [8] and Chattar-Cora et al [9] found mean age at diagnosis to be 58.4 and 60.4 years respectively. In the West, the incidence of colon and rectal cancers have shown an increase between the age group of 50-80 years.…”

“…Also, as the age advanced, percentage of colonic and rectosigmoid carcinomas increased, while no such trend was seen in rectal cancers. Musthafa et al [8] observed that proximal lesions presented at a later age as compared to distal lesions (63.2 years for the right colon and 58.5 years for the rectum) and this difference in ages was significant. Seydaolu et al [17] observed an increase in the incidence of right-sided colon cancers in advanced age groups (>70yrs) of males and increase in younger age groups (>50yrs) of females.…”

Feasibility of Computed Tomography Colonography as a Diagnostic Procedure in Colon Cancer Screening in India

“…Majority of polyps found in their study were adenomatous. Peedikayil et al (2009) have studied the colon cancer distribution within the colon and have done the analysis on retrospective data. They conclude that colon cancer DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2014.15.13.5111 Feasibility of CT Colonography as a Diagnostic Procedure in Colon Cancer Screening in India distribution was more in the descending colon and the rectosigmoid junction.…”
