Abstract

Objective: This was to study the prevalence and risk factors of colorectal cancer among the population aged 50–75 years in at Samutsakhon Hospital.

Methods: A prospective study was done by collecting data from colorectal cancer screening forms at GI clinic from 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023, including the results of lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. Data were analyzed using mean, median, SD, range, 95% CI, and odds ratio.

Result: Screening population for colorectal cancer at Samutsakhon Hospital had median age of 61 ± 6, and 60.9% were female. Most comorbidity was hypertension (46.4%) and diabetes was secondly found at 29%.

          Lower gastrointestinal endoscopy found that 25 people were normal (36.2%), 27 people had polyps (39.1%), and 5 people had cancer (7.2%). The most common type of polyp was hyperplastic polyp in 13 patients (18.8%) and the most common location of polyps was the sigmoid colon in 13 people (18.8%) followed by hepatic flexure in 6 people (8.7%).

Conclusions: The prevalence of colorectal cancer at Samutsakhon Hospital was to 7.2% from colorectal cancer screening by method of fecal immunochemical test (FIT50). For the behavior of eating vegetables/fruits, It was found that the risk of colon/rectal cancer in those who came for screening was statistically and significantly lower (p-value < .05).
