Background The early colorectal cancer diagnosis in Lithuania and West countries remain one of the general and important tasks. Methods At Lithuanian Oncology Center (LOC) in1998–2000 versus 1995–1997 the number of symptomatic patients examined by colonoscopy increased twice. For analysis of early colorectal cancer diagnosis we used the relative risk calculation method. Results In 1998–2000 versus 1995–1998, at LOC the early colon cancer diagnosis improved: cecum 1.47 times (RR = 1.47), rectosigmoid 1.22 (RR = 1.22). The early cancer diagnosis of rectum did not change, because did not change the number of patients examined by rectoscopy. Conclusions The twice as high number of symptomatic patients examined by colonoscopy improved diagnosis of early colon cancer, especially of its cecum (1.47 times) and colon rectosigmoid (1.22 times) forms. |
