“…Tebra et al reported an average consultation time of 8 months [21], which is consistent with this series. In the study by Pocard M et al, the average consultation time was less than or equal to 6 months in 73% of cases, with an average of 4.7 months (range: 0 -20 months) [27].…”

“…Soraya T et al found a similar figure of 94.54% [19]. In Tebra et al's series, adenocarcinoma was found in 96.40% of cases [21].…”

“…In a retrospective study conducted by Tebra et al in Tunisia, 165 cases of rectal cancer were collected and treated at the radiotherapy department of CHU Sousse between 1995 and 2004.

Disadvantaged patients have a higher frequency of emergency admissions for complicated colorectal cancer compared to non-disadvantaged patients (56% vs 35%, odd ratio: 2.29) [25].…”
