Article Synopsis
- - Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant public health issue globally and is the third most common cancer, with limited epidemiological data in northern Morocco; this study aims to fill that gap by examining CRC characteristics in the region.
- - The retrospective study at the Ahmed Ben Zayed Al Nahyan Regional Oncology Center identified 142 CRC patients from 2017 to 2019, revealing a mean age of 58 years, predominantly affected males, and a high incidence of rectal tumors (44%).
- - Most patients were diagnosed at advanced stages (83%), with liver metastasis being the most common, highlighting the need for larger studies to better understand CRC's impact in Morocco and inform future interventions.
