Resumen

CAYON POYEAUX, Raquel Onoria et al. Clinical epidemiological and histologic aspects in patients with colon cancer from Guantánamo province. MEDISAN [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1  Epub 06-Feb-2023. ISSN 1029-3019.

Introduction:

The colorectal cancer is one of the neoplasms of more morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Cuba it occupies the third death cause due to malignancies. The early screening is important for the prevention of mortality and survival.

Objective:

To characterize the patients with colon neoplasm according to clinical, epidemiological and histologic aspects.

Methods:

An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study of 110 patients with colorectal cancer was carried out. They were assisted in the Gastroenterology Service of Dr. Agostinho Neto Teaching General Hospital in Guantánamo province, from 2018 to 2020.

Results:

In the series there was a prevalence of the 70-79 age group (35.4 %) and the female sex (56.4 %). The most frequent form of presentation was low bleeding (54.7 %) and the most frequent localization was the rectosigmoid (65.7 %). The diagnostic complementary exams with more positivity were the colonoscopy (89.0 %) and the rectosigmoidcopy (65.4 %). The histologic type that prevailed was the well differentiated adenocarcinoma (61.9 %).

Conclusions:

On account of the great morbidity and mortality due to colon neoplasm its prevention is important by means of screening in the primary health care, since those affected have big cure possibilities when an early diagnosis of the adenoma is carried out that is the main precursor lesion.
