Risk of colorectal cancer in relatives: A case control study

Abstract: According to our findings, a family history of cancer increased the risk of CRC. Due to this fact that there is no current colorectal cancer screening program in Iran, it is recommended that first degree relatives of patients with colorectal cancer should be considered as a priority group for screening programs.

“…Screening of people with positive family history must begin at age 40 or 10 years earlier than the youngest family member was diagnosed (6,14). An Iranian study indicated the risk of colorectal cancer in people with at least one first-degree relative affected is 2 times more and their disease often occurs below age 40, in right colon, with a worse prognosis (18,19). Therefore, the national protocol recommends people with positive family history participate in colonoscopy screening program interval.…”

“…However, a large number do not undergo this effective test (8,12). Reports from Foreign Studies indicated decision to participate colonoscopy screening in relatives was 25% -79% (19,20). Another study at Telavive reported only 23% first degree relatives participated in alternative colonoscopy screening and this adherence was higher among persons 40 to 59 years, women, sib- lings, married, high income and education level.…”

“…The Family history of colorectal cancer did not remain in the logistic regression model with the presence of other variables. Dehganzadeh et al [4] and Safaei et al [3] did the research and the results showed that the family history of colorectal cancer in first-degree relatives increased the risk of colorectal cancer 35.4 and 2 times, respectively. Our study showed a significant association between smoking and colorectal cancer and the results of the regression model showed that smoking increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer by 7.79 times.…”

“…While an Iranian study showed that family history of cancer increased the risk of CRC (33), Weibull model did not detect any relation between risk of mortality and family history of CRC and this is similar to an Asian study which could not find any relation with survival of CRC and family history (34). Although in Iran there is evidence to support the screening of average risk individuals, including person with family history of colorectal cancer (35), it is still controversial and needs to more research on the Iranian population.…”
