Colorectal adenocarcinoma in a defined Jordanian population from 1990 to 1995

Abstract

As for colorectal adenocarcinoma, we still share the epidemiologic characteristics of developing countries, but there is a shift toward those of western communities. Flexible sigmoidoscopy is encouraged for evaluation of lower gastrointestinal symptoms, and education of the public and medical staff about colorectal diseases is needed to improve the outcome.
