The incidences of upper gastrointestinal and colorectal malignancies in Ağrı city of eastern Anatolia

Year 2019, Volume: 41 Issue: 3, 537 - 543, 30.09.2019

Abstract

Objective: Gastrointestinal
tract malignancies comprise essential morbidity and mortality reasons in east
Anatolia. The data regarding the incidences and clinical symptoms of these
malignancies in this region are scarce.

Method: All
endoscopic interventions and obtained biopsies between July 2014 and August
2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Age-adjusted and crude incidences were
calculated according to the mid-  population
number in 2014 given by the regional governorship.

Results: A total of 1176 endoscopic interventions (927 (78.8%)
upper endoscopy and 249 (21.2%) colonoscopy) were performed within 12 months of
time interval. As a result of these endoscopic interventions, 14 (19.1%)
esophageal cancers, 49 (67.1%) gastric cancers, and 10 (13.6%) colorectal cancers
were diagnosed. Crude incidences per 100.000 individuals for esophageal cancer
were 2.4 and 2.6, for gastric cancer were 9.1 and 8.3, and for colorectal cancer
were 2.8 and 0.7 for men and women, respectively. Gender and age-adjusted
esophageal cancer rates per 100.000 individuals for men between 30-34 years was
0.34 and for women between 40-44 years was 3.03. While weight loss was more
common in upper gastrointestinal malignancies (49.2% vs. 10%, p<0.001),
anemia was more common in colorectal malignancies (90% vs. 15.8%, p=0.02).







Conclusions:
When age-adjusted cancer rates were taken into
consideration, the esophageal cancer rate in young men and women was shown to
be increased in Ağrı province, contrary to Turkey’s general. Despite an
increase in the crude incidence of gastric cancer, when adjusted to age, the
incidence seems to be in accordance with the general tendency.
