Based on the Iranian annual national cancer registration report, CRC is the fifth common cancer in Iranian men and the third one in woman. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiologic and pathological features of colorectal cancer, in patients during the years 1997 to 2006 in Taleghani Hospital are admitted. I gathered medical records of 215 patients that admitted to Taleghani Hospital of Kermanshah during the years 1398 to 2006 were studied. I analyzed age, sex, stage of disease, anatomical location, histological type, location and involvement of lymph node metastasis. We used SPSS software for statistical analysis. The mean age at diagnosis was 51.57 years. One-hundred seven (63.7%) patients were male. Pathology laboratory reported 88.8% of patients were included in adenocarcinoma and 4% had mucinous adenocarcinoma. About tumor grade, 92 patients were well differentiated, 31 patients were moderate and 11 patients were poor. Incidence of metastatic sites in patients: liver (14.9%), peritoneum (3.3%), lung (1.4%), bladder (0.9%), uterus (0.9%), kidney (0.5%), chest (0.5%), pancreatic (0.5%), prostatic (0.5%). Sixty-six patients had not involvement lymph node. The most common anatomical location of the tumor was the rectum (40.5% of patients).The findings of this study indicate that the incidence of colorectal cancer is equal in both left and right of colon. We should provide screening program for early diagnosis and treatment due to the high incidence of CRC.
