Incidence of colorectal cancer in Bucaramanga, Colombia 2008 - 2012
Abstract
Introduction. Cancer is the second cause of death in the world, with colorectal cancer being the fourth most frequent neoplasia. Due to a progressive increase, it is important to know the impact of this neoplasia in the Metropolitan Area of Bucaramanga. The objective is to describe the incidence and sociodemographic characteristics of colorectal cancer in the Metropolitan Area of Bucaramanga during 2008 - 2012. Methodology. A cross-sectional descriptive population study based on incident cases of colorectal cancer from the Metropolitan Area of Bucaramanga was conducted. The information of new cases that occurred during 2008 - 2012 was obtained from the Population Registry of Cancer. The inclusion criteria were: patients with primary and infiltrating lesions of the colon and rectum, with no age or sex limit. Cases that corresponded to relapse, recurrence or metastasis, and whose morphology included the type of lymphoma were excluded. Subsequently, the crude and standardized rates for age and sex were calculated using the CanReg5 program. Results. 805 new cases of colorectal cancer were obtained, with an incidence of 14.3 cases in men and 13.5 cases in women per 100,000 inhabitants; the average age of diagnosis was 64 years for both sexes. Conclusions. The incidence of colorectal cancer has increased compared to previous five-year periods in the Metropolitan Area of Bucaramanga, affecting older adult male population to a greater extent, becoming a public health challenge, which requires more prevention measures and studies of this pathology.
