Abstract Background: Metabolic syndrome and obesity are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or cardiovascular disease, especially stroke. Obesity-associated diseases account for a large portion of public health challenges. Among obesity-related disorders, a direct and independent relationship has been ascertained for colorectal cancer. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and other cardiovascular risk factors, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, dietary and exercise practices, tobacco use and body mass index in individual with colorectal cancer patients attending Tikur Anbessa Hospital Oncology department, Addis Ababa.Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from February, 2016 to Jun 2017 on 79 patients attending the Oncology clinic at Tikur Anbessa Hospital. Components of metabolic syndrome, including fasting serum glucose, serum triglyceride, serum high density lipoprotein, blood pressure and waist circumference, was measured in all of the patients. In addition, serum total cholesterol, serum low density lipoprotein was measured with 5010 photometers, and information gathered on smoking and other lifestyle practices, including diet and exercise.Result: Of 79 patients, 23 had metabolic syndrome (MS); 58.2% males; mean-age 48.6 years with range (26 to 78) and 41.8 % Female; mean age 44.6 years with range (20 to 78). Among the MS group, 45.6 % had high blood pressure, 26.6 % had increased waist circumference, 67.1% had serum blood glucose level greater than 100 mg/dL, 68.3 % had low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, 57 % had increased triglyceride level, and 3.8 % were obese [body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m2]. 29 % presented 3 criteria of MS. From total colorectal cancer patients 53.2 % had colon cancer, 46.8 % had rectal cancer and 12.7 % had stage I,40.5 % had stage II (IIa,IIb & IIc), 25.3 % had stage III (a,b,c) and 21.5 % had stage IV disease.CONCLUSION: MS is positively associated with adenomas and colorectal cancer. However, there is not enough information in Ethiopia to justify screening in patients with MS. To our knowledge, no previous study has evaluated this association in Ethiopian patients.

Aim: To describe quality life’s colorectal cancer patients who are being treated at Thai Nguyenoncology center from June 2020 to August 2020.Objects and method: The descriptive cross- sectional study was conducted over 68 patientsdiagnosed with colorectal cancer by face to face interview using the European Organization forResearch and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 and the EORTC QLQ-CR29.Results: Mean of overall health score was 51,96±18,78; mean of functional score was 21,49±12,42(1,71–47,06). In functional sector, social function was scored lowest. In symptomatic scale, appetiteloss was scored highest (47,06).Conclusion: Quality of life of colorectal cancer patients was medium level. Highest scores wereobserved for appetite loss and fatigue. To improve quality life’s patients, medical staffs need to keepenhancing symptoms and function for patients during treatment.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in the world and the increased survival of the colorectal cancer population is very significant. Thus, it becomes relevant to study the symptoms associated with the progression of the disease and treatment, for proper clinical management. OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of colorectal cancer patients and to identify the most prevalent signs and symptoms patterns. METHODS: Cross-sectional study evaluating the prevalence of symptoms in 348 colorectal cancer patients admitted to a referral oncology hospital. We applied MSAS-BR scale and, through factor analysis with principal componente analysys, we performed the grouping of symptoms. RESULTS: There was a predominance of men, aged 60 years or older, married, white, with high school, moderately differentiated tumor, stage III/IV disease, colon cancer and no distant metastasis. The most prevalent symptoms were weight loss (67.53%) and the least prevalent were mouth sores (2.01%). The groupings of symptoms established were “fatigue and psychic symptoms”, “gastrointestinal symptoms”, “self-perceptive symptoms” and “general symptoms”, which described 80% of the symptoms presented. CONCLUSION: We evidenced the importance of identifying these symptoms clusters in order to improve strategies for clinical management in patients with colorectal cancer.
