Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer is the fourth prevalent cancer in the world and there are several factors effective on development of the disease. These factors vary based on geographical distribution. The present study is aimed at surveying epidemiology of colorectal cancer and its risk factors in Kermanshah-Iran between 2009 and 2014. METHODOLOGY: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on all colorectal cancer cases in two Kermanshah-based hospitals Imam Reza and Taleghani between 2009 and 2014. Demographic and epidemiological information was collected from the medical files and interviewing the patients. The collected data was analyzed in SPSS. FINDINGS: Totally, 336 patients had been registered from 2009 to 2014. Mean and standard deviation of age was 59.98 ± 15.26. Fifty-four subjects (16.05%) had a history of colorectal cancer among their relatives and 253 (62.5) had no history of physical activity. In addition, 81 subjects (24.1%) had a history of digestive diseases. In terms of diet, 205 subjects (61%) used less than 6 unit/day of grains and bread, and meat consumption in 150 subjects (44.6%) was less than 2 unit/day. CONCLUSION: The results showed that the prevalence of colorectal cancers was growing in Kermanshah. To change the rate, changes in lifestyle and screening tests for more susceptible age groups are recommended.
