N2  - OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer is now one of the most common cancer in both males and females. The aim of the present study was to determine the characteristics, related to age, gender and disease, of the patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer and also, to discuss our data with the results from the current literature.METHODS: In the present study, reports of 123 subjects who underwent surgery with the diagnosisof colon and rectal cancer were retrospectively studied in Trabzon Numune Training and Research Hospital.Characteristics of the patients with colo-rectal cancer related to age, gender, tumor location, surgical proceduresand the tumor grade were evaluated.RESULTS: Of the 123 patients enrolled into the study, 77 (62.6%) were male and 46 (37.4%) were female. Themean age of the patients was 66.01±14.15. The 49.6 percent (n=61) of tumors were located in the rectum,19.5% (n=24) in right colon, 14.6% (n=18) in sigmoid colon, 14.6% (n=18) in left colon and 1.6% (n=2) insynchronous tumor. Histopathological examination revealed that all patients had adenocarcinoma. A total of11.4% (n=14) of patients were in Aster Coller stage A, 29.3% (n=36) of patients were in stage B, 48.8% (n=60)of patients in stage C and 10.6% (n=13) of patients in stage D.CONCLUSION: The rectosigmoid area was the most frequently involved site and also, it was found that over half ofthe patients had further stage in the present study. Considering high treatment costs and the probability of poorprognosis resulting in death, colorectal cancer screening programs should be implemented more effectively inpractice.
