Overview

Retrospective observational study reveals high rates of comorbidities and early-onset disease in colorectal cancer patients, indicating a need for enhanced screening and preventative strategies.

Key Points

  • To evaluate demographic, clinical, and paraclinical characteristics of colorectal cancer patients to identify potential prognostic markers.
  • Retrospective observational study of 204 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer admitted to the Clinical Emergency Hospital of Bucharest between January 1, 2022, and January 1, 2024.
  • Patients had an average age of 67 years with a 54% male predominance, and 11% were diagnosed before age 50.
  • The most common comorbidities were hypertension (65.7%), obesity (43%), and diabetes (24%), while 24% were smokers and 2.5% had chronic alcohol use.
  • Tumors were predominantly located in the sigmoid colon, presenting mostly as NOS adenocarcinoma (76.5%) and grade G2 moderately differentiated tumors (77%), with an in-hospital mortality rate of 2.5% and a mean hospital stay of 14.51 days.
