“…Colorectal cancer incidence among the young (age less than 40 years) was 22% in this study, which is similar to findings in Egypt by Gado et al (2014) [ 20 ] where 25% of CRC occurred in patients aged less than 40 years. Higher incidence have been reported by Abdalla et al (2007) [ 21 ] in Khartoum hospital where 35.4% of patients were 40 years or less. Whereas in the Western countries, the incidence is about 2-6% [ 22 ].…”

IntroductionColorectal cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally and its incidence is increasing in developing countries. This study determined the incidence, clinical features and the histopathological patterns of colorectal cancer at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Kumasi, Ghana.MethodsA retrospective review of all colorectal cancer cases over a six year period from (2009-2015) presented to the Surgical and Oncological Department of KATH. Patients' records were retrieved and information on their demographics, clinical and pathological presentations recorded.ResultsIn all, 221 cases of colorectal cancer were identified over the study period. The mean age was 54 ± 16.8 and ranged from 16 to 90 years. Sixteen (7.24%) had family history of cancer and the prevalence of comorbidities was (24.89%). The commonest clinical symptoms presented were weight loss (44.80%), bleeding per rectum (39.82%) and abdominal pain (38.91%) Majority of the patients presented with rectal cancers (48.87%). Microscopically, adenocarcinoma (68.33%) was the most common histopathological type. According to Tumour Node Metastasis (TNM) staging of cancer, majority of the patients 89(40.27%) were identified as being in late stage (TNM Stage III). The overall crude annual incidence was 4.62 per 100000 populations. The age specific standardized incidence rate was 7.93 per 100,000 populationConclusionThis study has clearly showed a high incidence in colorectal cancer at KATH, with similar trends in clinico-pathological patterns comparable to that of most African countries. These include predominance of rectal cancers, high incidence among younger people and delayed presentation of the disease at advanced stage.

“…Studies in the Arab States of the Arabian Gulf and other neighboring countries have reported findings similar to those in Saudi Arabia for emergency-room presentation of CRC. In a study of 277 Sudanese patients carried out in Sudan, 35% of patients presented acutely, and intestinal obstruction was the main mode of emergency presentation, accounting for 94% of those cases 8. A lower percentage of emergency presentation (11%) as intestinal obstruction was reported in the state of Qatar by Rasul et al,9 in a study of 110 CRC patients in 2001.…”

Objectives:To investigate the frequency and clinical characteristics of emergency presentation of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in Tabuk Region of Saudi Arabia.Methods:This is a retrospective, descriptive hospital-based study. All cases with CRC that presented to the main referral hospitals in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia between 2010 and 2015 were retrieved. The relevant hospitals are: King Salman Military Hospital, King Khalid Hospital, and King Fahad Hospital.Results:Seventy-three patients were included in the study. Twenty-two patients presented emergency constituting 30.6% of the total. Emergency CRC presentation was more common in elderly patients (81.8%), but a greater proportion of young patients was also affected (40% versus 29% in elderly patients). The disease is more common in females (37%) than males (26.7%) and intestinal obstruction was the sole form of presentation. Patients presenting emergency had more right-sided (61.9%) than left-sided tumors (30.2%). Advanced presentation with metastasis was noted in 40% of the patients presenting acutely.Conclusion:Emergency CRC presentation is common in the Tabuk region. Patients tend to present at an advanced stage, which necessitates an endeavor to detect the disease in its early stages, possibly through initiation of health education programs and suitable screening projects.

“…12 Abdalla et al however in his study reported that of 35% of the patients who presented in the emergency department, 94.8% had an acute or sub acute intestinal obstruction. 13 In conclusion, colorectal cancer was found to affect younger age groups, but with the peak incidence in patients above the age of 45 years. Males were affected more commonly than females.…”
