Abstract
Introduction: The incidence of colorectal cancer exhibits significant geographical diversity. The disease pattern in developing nations contrasts with that of developed countries, largely due to a higher proportion of patients presenting at advanced stages.
Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile and treatment outcome of colorectal cancer patients treated with multimodality.
Methods: This was a cross sectional, prospective, observational study and was conducted in the Department of surgery, North East Medical College Hospital, Sylhet, Bangladesh during a 3-year time period.
Result: In our study, Majority 90 (60.0%) were male and 60 (40.0%) were female. Most of the patients 75 (50.0%) were 50-65 years old, then 45 (30.0%) were >65 years old. The majority of patients fall into Stage III (32.0%) and Stage IV (38.0%). Surgery as a stand alone treatment modality is utilized in 20% of patients, chemotherapy in 13.3 % and radiation in 6.7% respectively. Abdomino-Perineal Resection (APR) surgical procedure is the most commonly performed among the listed options, accounting for 30.0% of the patients. Right Hemicolectomy procedure is performed in 13.3% of patients. Both overall survival and disease-free survival rates decrease as the time period increases.
Conclusion: In conclusion, our study contributes to the growing body of evidence on colorectal cancer management and outcomes.
