Trends in colorectal cancer incidence in western Kazakhstan through the first decade of the screening implementation, 2009‒2018

Abstract

Introduction The study is aimed to outline the vector of colorectal cancer incidence in the industrial Aktobe province of western Kazakhstan through the first decade of the screening implementation, 2009–2018. Methods Rough incidence rates and annual percent changes were estimated for each age group at diagnosis, ethnicities, gender, residences, the disease stages and anatomic subsites (total N 1128) via regression analysis. Results Within 2009–2018 colorectal cancer rates increased from 14.74 to 23.19, with annual percent changes of 4.69%. The most significant growth was traced in men compared to women, up to 28.39 by 2018, with annual percent changes 6.64% vs. 2.64% (p = 0.0009). Annual percent changes in Kazakhs reached 8.7%, whereas Slavic groups showed decline in the incidence, annual percent changes −4.3% (p = 0.002). Declining in rates was also observed in urban population compared to rural one, annual percent changes −3.3% vs. 17.6%, respectively. Patients aged 60–69 made 31% of all cases and showed the largest annual percent changes 9.37% (p = 0.002). Patients at Stage II made 61% of all observations, but general trend evidenced sharp growth in the group of Stage I (annual percent changes 28.91%, p < 0.0001). Conclusion Overall, during the last decade colorectal cancer incidence increased 1.5 fold with expected further rise. However, the increment of Stage I portion by 2018 vs. advanced stages at diagnosis and the trend to decrease in rates among urban population inspire a definite assurance in potential efficiency of the screening program in long run. The next researches on colorectal cancer should include scenarios to reveal the role of disadvantaged environment in the region and consuming unhealthy ultra-processed food.

Trends in the incidence of colorectal cancer in Greater Cuiabá, Mato Grosso (Brazil), from 2000 to 2016

“…As for men, they recognize less the signs and symptoms of the disease, such as alterations in the functioning of the intestine, reflecting on late diagnosis 30 . The more pronounced increase in incidence rates in this group, also identified in other studies 31,32 , may be related, in part, to a less healthy lifestyle, a fact that may give them a higher risk for the disease 33 .…”

Performances of Whole Tumor Texture Analysis Based on MRI: Predicting Preoperative T Stage of Rectal Carcinomas

“…Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in females and the third most common cancer in males in the United States, and 30-35% of colorectal cancers occur in the rectum (1,2). In recent years, the incidence and mortality of rectal cancer have gradually increased, showing the imbalance both in age and region, and because of the occult onset of early rectal cancer, most patients are already in the locally advanced stage at the first diagnosis (3,4).…”

Tratamento videolaparoscópico para neoplasia de cólon direito: relato de caso

“…No Brasil, aparece entre os cinco primeiros tipos de câncer mais frequentes (INCA, 2018). O risco deste tipo de neoplasia aumenta com a faixa etária, manifestando-se em mais de 50% dos casos após 60 anos (Balmagambetova et al, 2020;Shang et al, 2020). No presente relato trata-se de um paciente do sexo masculino com 54 anos de idade, discordando um pouco da literatura.…”
