The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical factors of the patients with CCR histologically confirmed.
Patients And Methods:
In the study group there were included 117 patients (females: 49-41%, males: 68-59%, range: 39-88 years) with CCR confirmed (rectosigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy + biopsy, X-ray) hospitalized in the Second Medical Clinic Gastroenterology during January 2000-May 2001.
Results:
For 56 (47.86%) patients the principal sign was rectal bleeding, intestinal disorders (diarrhoea--constipation) in 24 (20.51%) patients, anemia in 19 (16.23%) patients and abdominal pain in 18 (15.38%) patients. The time interval between the onset and the diagnosis of CCR was 1 month up to 2.5 years. For 83 patients (71%) was possible surgical treatment and for 34 patients (29%) palliative method.
Conclusions:
At diagnosis the clinical data suggested a malignant disease for most of the patients. The delay of diagnosis was associated with advanced staging of the disease, with limiting therapeutic possibilities. Using the screening for CCR may give the possibility for a curative treatment.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...

Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
