EPIDEMIOLOGY OF COLORECTAL CANCER IN TOMSK REGION

Background. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide. The tendency towards increased incidence of colorectal cancer in Tomsk region correlates with World and Russian tendencies. The purpose of the study was to analyze the incidence rate of colorectal cancer in Tomsk region. Material and methods. The study was based on cancer register data collected at the Cancer Research Institute and Regional Cancer Center (Tomsk) and covered the period 2005 по 2015. Demographic data were obtained from local authorities and government statistics. Results. In Tomsk region, colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer. During the study period (2005–15), the incidence rate of colorectal cancer increased by 39.9 %. The highest incidence rates were observed in patients aged 55 years and older. The median age of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2015 was 56.3 years. The female and male median age showed a decreasing tendency. In 2015, the colorectal cancer incidence rate in both females and males was the highest among the territories included into the Siberian Federal Region, being 30.9 per 100,000. The rate then stabilized in females, but tended to increase in males. The cumulative risk of developing cancer among the population of Tomsk region had increased, being 7.9 in 2015 compared to 6.5 % in 2005. The cumulative risk of developing cancer was higher in males than in females (10.1 % versus 6.9 %). A specialized care to patients with colorectal cancer over a 10-year period has improved, however one-year mortality rate remains high. The study has shown that screening programs based on the detection of occult blood in the stool are not specific enough. Colonoscopy using high-resolution endoscopy and narrow beam imaging (NBI) are recommended to use as a screening method for the detection of precancerous diseases of the colon.
