Abstract:
From 1/1998 to 12/1999, 646 patients underwent colorectoscopy, included 321 men (49.6%) and 325 women (50.4%). Out of these patients, 614 were endoscopied up to caecum. 150 patients with colorectal and anal tumors were further studied by histopathology to confirm diagnosis. Main findings: Tumors in colon and sigmal colon have high rate: polyp 38.81%, cancer 40.0%. Rate of cancerous polyp was higher in patients who have more than one polyp. Hyper-proliferative polyp had high rate of 53.41%, while rate of adenoma polyp was 39.77%. These cases should be monitored periodically after polyp removal because of high potential malignance. Most of malignant tumors were adenocarcinomas, occupied 89.71%. Other cancers were uncommon
