Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Overall, the incidence of colorectal cancer appears to be stable or diminishing. However, based on our regional cancer institute’s datas, we have observed the increasing incidence of colorectal cancer in patients ≤40 age. The aim of this study was to verify the rising trend, clinico-pathological features and survival in colorectal cancer in patients ≤40,in comparison to patients >40 age. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was conducted to review all patients≤ 40 age and more than 40 year of age separatly with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer from January 2004 to December 2012. Results: Young patients were 24.17% of total 1096 colorectal cases. In young patients 60.37% were male and 39.63% were female. 9% young had family history & only 8% had history of alcohol intake. Onset of symptoms to reaching diagnosis period is longer in younger patients.(Range 3 months to 1 year in young, while 1 months to 6 months in older). Higher pathological T stage was seen in the younger age group when compared with patients above 40 years. Also the younger age group showed more advanced N stage when compared with patients above 40 years. With final TNM staging, in younger age group 66% were in stage IV and 30% were in stage III. Eighty percent of all young cancer deaths were within 22 months (from 8months to 22 months). Conclusion: Above results show the aggressive nature and late diagnosis of carcinoma colorectal in young. These data highlight a need for thorough evaluation of young with colorectal symptoms and in high risk population, also life style modification agenda by Govt .or non Govt. organization.
