Abstract:
Objective:The aim of this study was to explore the epidemiological characteristics of large intestine carcinoma in North Zhejiang.Methods:A retrospective review of clinical records and endoscopic findings of 339 large intestine carcinoma patients (detected from 5320 endoscopic examinees) throught past 8 years was executed.Results:General detection rate was 6.37%.Annual detection rate fluctuated between 4.60% and 8.79%.The detection rate for male was slightly higher than that for female.The ratio of male to female was 1.15∶1.The 41～60 years interval was the susceptible age interval (48.37%);rectum and sigmoid colon were the most frequently sites involved (71.38%).Most (89.38%) of the carcinomas were adenomatous histopathologically.Conclusions:There were susceptible age interval and topological sites for large intestine carcinoma.Most of them were adenomatous.Annual detection rate in this region through the past 8 years showed neither rise nor decline year by year.
