Abstract

Abstract

Aim. There is still considerable controversy and debate regarding the features of colorectal cancer in young and older patients. In the present study, the influence of age on clinicopathological characteristics of sporadic colorectal cancer is analyzed retrospectively. Method. A total of 170 cases of colectomy for adenocarcinoma in Kocaeli University Medical School, Turkey, Department of Surgery between January 2001 and September 2005 were studied. Results. Of the 170 patients, 40 (23.5%) were in the ≤50 age group and 130 (76.5%) in the >50 age group were included in the study. Statistical tests were applied for the variables. No differences were found between the young and older patients in respect of clinical features, histopathological features, surgical procedures, or post-operative complications. Conclusion. According to this study, there are no differences between young and older patients with sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma in respect of clinical features, histopathological features, surgical procedures, or post-operative complications. The differences found previously as recorded in the literature may be associated with genetic variations.

Keywords: Colorectal, adenocarcinoma, sporadic

 

Özet

Amaç. Yaşlı ve genç yaş hastalarda kolorektal kanserlerin özellikleriyle ilgili halen süregelen tartışmalar vardır. Bu çalışmada yaşın sporadik kolorektal kanserlerin klinikopatolojik karakteristikleri üzerine etkisi retrospektif olarak incelendi. Yöntem. Ocak 2001-Eylül 2005 arasında adenokarsinom nedeniyle Kocaeli Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Genel Cerrahi Kliniği’nde kolektomi yapılan toplam 170 olgu retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular. Yüz yetmiş olgudan 40’ı (%23,5) elli yaş ve altında, 130’u (%76,5) elli yaşın üstünde idi. Elde edilen sonuçlar istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi. Yaşlı ve genç hasta grupları arasında klinik özellkler, histopatolojik özellikler, uygulanan cerrahi yöntemler veya ameliyat sonrası komplikasyonlar açısından fark bulunmadı. Sonuç. Bu çalışmaya gore sporadik kolerektal adenokarsinomlu genç ve yaşlı hastalar arasında kilnik özellikler, histopatolojik özellikler, uygulanan cerrahi yöntemler veya ameliyat sonrası komplikasyonlar açısından fark yoktur. Literatürlerde belirtilen daha once saptanmış olan farklar gentetik varyasyonlarla ilişkili olabilir.
