Objective: T(! identify the risk factors for Colorectal Cancer (CRC) at King AbdulAziz University Hospital (KAUH) in the western region of Saudi Arabia.
Methods: Clinical, pathological and risk factors data of all patients with CRC managed at KA UH, over a 10 years period (1993-2002) were collected and analyzed retrospec¬tively. Risk factors, were then correlated with sex and race (Saudis vs Non- Saudis).
Results: Out of 90 patients evaluated, 5 were excluded because of incomplete data. Out of 85 patients, 45 (52.9%) patients were males, 40 (47.1%)females, 33 (38.8) Saudis and 52 (61.2%) were Non-Saudis. The Majority were Asians; 81 out of 85 patients (95.3%)and4African (4.7%). Comparisons between males and females revealed no dif¬ference for all the following risk factors; familial causes, polyps, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), High fat low fiber diet, Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAJDS) use and Obesity. Comparisons between Saudis and Non¬Saudis revealed no difference in all mentioned riskfactors except for familial causes which was found higher among Saudis versus Non-Saudis (15.2% vs 1.9%, Y= 0.031).
Conclusions: Risk factors for CRC are present in this study population especially dietary habits and obesity. Fa¬milial risk factors were higher among Saudis than Non Saudis. The relative high frequency of some risk factors calls for family screening and surveillance.
