Özet
In this study, the relationship between colorectal carcinoma and distribution of age and sex was investigated. We studied 102 cases from 1990- 1996 in the southeast of Turkey and compared the results with other similar studies. Fifty three percent of cases were female and 47% were male. The mean age of patients was 48 years F 47 yrs, M49 yrs. Of all cases, 30.3% of patients were under 40 years, 50.8% under 50 years and 80.2% under 60 years old. Carcinoma was seen most frequently at the 5th decade (29.4%) then 4th decade (20.5%) and 3rd decade (14.7%) respectively. The ratio of carcinoma over 60 years was 19.58%. These findings show that colorectal carcinoma was found equally in both sexes, the mean age was 48 yrs and at least half of the patients were under 50 years old. Although the mean age was lower our region, these results are roughly similar to other studies from our country, while in western countries 90% of colorectal carcinoma cases are known to occur at a mean age of over 50 years. Our findings were significantly different from these results. In conclusion, we can say that colorectal carcinoma has been considered in all suspected cases despite age of patient, and further epidemiological and etiological studies are needed in our region and country.
