The aim is to analyze clinical and pathological characteristics of colorectal cancer in South India, focusing on demographic variations.
Included all patients undergoing treatment for colorectal cancer in a tertiary cancer facility.
Analyzed patient characteristics based on location, differentiation, staging, and tumour morphology.
831 patients were analyzed, with rectal cancer being more prevalent (64%) compared to colon cancer (36%).
The most common histological subtype was moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma (78.6%).
58% of patients presented at stage III, and 25.5% were at stage IV.
Females had a higher T stage at diagnosis compared to males (p = 0.03).
Colon cancers were more likely to be mucinous and poorly differentiated compared to rectal cancers.
