“…Regarding the marital status of the analyzed patients, 53.7% were, at the time of the consultation, with a steady partner, stable union or married. This fact is consistent with the epidemiology of other studies, with approximately 60% of patients having a partner (ROHENKOHL et al, 2021). In addition, marital status can directly interfere as a protective effect for CRC.…”

“…Regarding the race of the patients seen, the individuals declared themselves to be brown (71.1%). Such information differs from some studies in the literature, where the percentage of white patients diagnosed with CRC was equivalent to 92.5% of the evaluated sample, representing the vast majority (ROHENKOHL et al, 2021). However, there is evidence that the difference in incidence between races has been decreasing over the years (WU et al, 2019).…”

“…These data are consistent with other literature where the superior rectum and sigmoid are the most common sites of colorectal cancer, but there is literature that states the sigmoid/rectosigmoid colon is the most common location of colorectal cancer. 5 The rectum and rectosigmoid were the most common sites of colorectal cancer in the study of Tamgadge, et al in India (56.66%). 19 In the study by Smiddy, et where the most common location is the colon.…”

“…4 Several factors, such as calcium intake, aspirin use, and vitamin D supplementation, act as protective factors. 5 Most colorectal cancers are localized in the rectum (37%) and sigmoidal (31%), less often in the ascending colon (9%), and cecum (8%). 6 According to WHO, eISSN (Online): 2598-0580 colorectal cancer is histopathologically classified into adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, signetring cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and undifferentiated carcinoma.…”

“…Geralmente, quando a localização da neoplasia situa-se no cólon direito, mais tardio será o surgimento dos primeiros sintomas. (2) Em alguns casos de tumores colorretais, o paciente pode demandar a realização de uma colostomia ou ileostomia para a saída de fezes. Ela é criada quando parte do intestino é removida e outra exteriorizada.…”
