ALEJO CONCEPCION, Osvaldo et al. Clinic-surgical characterization of the colorectal cancer in inpatients. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2009, vol.31, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1684-1824.

The colorectal cáncer presents high incidence. This pathology occupies the fifth place among the neoplasias in both sexes in Cuba. With the objective of characterizing this disease we carried out a descriptive transversal study at the service of General Surgery of the University Military Hospital of Matanzas “Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy”, in the period from January 2001 to January 2005, studying age, sex, familiar oncological antecedents, presentation form, localization and diagnosis of the tumor, and also the surgical technique used in the treatment. The results showed predominance of the male sex in ages between 60 and 69 years old, different symptoms depending on the localization, predominance of the rectal cancer, and others. It was concluded that there is a delay between the beginning of the symptoms and the diagnosis, considerably diminishing the healing possibilities and survival.
