대장암은 결장과 직장에 생기는 약성의 종양을 말하며, 암이 발생하는 위치에 따라 결장에 생기는 암을 결장암, 직장에 생기는 암을 직장암이라고 하고, 이를 통칭하여 대장암 혹은 결장직장암이라고 한다. 대장암의 대부분은 대장의 점막에서 발생하는 선암이다. 선암의 대부분은 선종이라는 양성 종양(폴립, 용종)이 진행되어 발생하며 선암 이외에도 림프종, 육종, 편평상피암, 유암종 등이 발견된다.

The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Korea has been gradually increased and it has been reported that dietary life is highly associated with the development of CRC. To investigate dietary attitudes and nutritional risk factors for CRC, we analyzed food intake of 34 patients diagnosed with CRC within 1 year and 51 subjects without gastrointestinal diseases as a control reside in Daegu·Gyeongbuk Area using semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The results showed that dietary regularity and variety of food intake in control subjects was better than CRC patients whereas, CRC patients eat more frequently animal and vegetable protein foods, fried foods, green and yellow vegetables, and fruits than control subjects. Nutrient intake analysis showed that Vitamin A, E, K, C, sodium, magnesium, iodine, and cholesterol intake of CRC patients was higher than control subjects. Especially, after adjusting age and sex, regression analysis showed that Vitamin K (OR = 1.022, 95% Cl 1.003-1.043, p = 0.026) and sodium (OR = 1.001, 95% Cl 1.000-1.002, p = 0.032) were identified as risk factors for CRC. In the future, verification of the relationship between these nutrients and CRC risk and appropriate nutrient education will be needed for the prevention of CRC.

Purpose : DNA ploidy pattern was shown to correlate with several clinicohistologic findings in several tumors. Aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of the clinicohistologic findings in colorectal cancer and the failure pattern in rectosigmoid cancer with DNA ploidy. Materials and Methods DNA flow cytometry using the Hedley methods on paraffin embedded specimen from 117 patients with colorectal cancers after curative resection was peformed. We tried to find the correlation between DNA ploidy and various clinicohistologic findings. And then the correlation DNA ploidy and the failure pattern in 75 patients of rectosigmoid cancer was analized. Results : Forty samples (34.2%) from tumors gave aneuploidy histogram. There was no significant difference in the frequency of DNA aneuploidy in terms of age, sex, depth of invasion, location and Dukes stage. But there was a significant correlation between DNA ploidy and the failure rates in Dukes stage B rectosigmoid cancer (P=0.048). Conclusions : These findings suggest that DNA ploidy pattern shows the correlation with the treatment failure rates in Dukes stage B rectosigmoid, but not with many other clinicohistologic findings. However,more patients will be needed to disclose these findings.

Colorectal cancer produce focal mass or segmental thickening which can be detected with sonography. The purpose of this study was to describe sonographic findings of colorectal cancer. we reviewed sonograms of 51 patients with colorectal cancer in whom sonography was performed before colon study. In 51 patients who had more common coloretal cancer 27cases(53%) had 40 to 50 years of age(60%). Sonographic findings included segmental thickening 42cases, or irregular mass 9 cases. With careful examination, these findings can be detectable, and therefore bowel should be carefully examination in patients with sign and symptoms suggesting carcinoma of the colon and rectum.

본 연구는 대구ㆍ경북지역 대장직장암 환자의 일반 생활 상황과 식행동 특성을 분석 평가하여 지역민의 대장직장암 예방을 위한 영양교육에 활용할 수 있는 식생활 관련 기초 자료를 얻고자 수행되었다. 최근 경북대학교 병원에서 대장직장암 진단을 받고 입원한 수술 전후 환자 123명 (남 79명, 여 44명)을 환자군 대상으로 하였고 대장질환이 없는 정형외과 환자 등 182명(남 117명, 여 65명)을 비교군 대상으로 하였다. 대상자의 일반 특성, 식습관, 식행동 특성, 식품섭취 빈도 등의 내용을 포함한 설문지를 이용하여 개인 면담을 통하여 조사하였다. 현재 BMI와 과거 가장 높았던 체중의 BMI는 남녀 모두 환자군에서 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 환자군의 교육 수준은 비교군에 비해 낮았고 주 거주지역 분포는 농촌이 가장 많았으며 가계 소득은 환자군에서 비교군에 비하여 높은 것으로 나타났다. 주요 일상활동 강도는 비교군에 비해 환자군에서 유의적으로 가벼운 것으로 나타났다. 발병 전 일상생활에서 느끼는 스트레스의 정도가 환자군에서 비교군에 비해 유의적으로 높았던 것으로 나타났다. 자신의 성격 유형을 비관적인 것으로 생각하는 비율과 가족의 암 병력이 환자군에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 식사의 규칙성에서도 환자군에서 끼니를 거르는 비율이 유의적으로 높았다. 환자군은 비교군에 비해 육식을 유의적으로 높게 선호하였으며 외식시 고기류를 선호하는 비율이 높았다. 평소 물 섭취량은 환자군에서 비교군에 비해 적었다. 환자군이 비교군에 비해 짠맛에 대한 선호도가 유의적으로 높았고 단 맛과 매운 맛은 비교군에 비해 싫어하는 경향을 보였으며 기름진 맛을 선호하는 경향이 환자군에서 유의하게 높았다. 환자군에서 굽기, 튀기기를 좋아하는 경향이 유의적으로 높았다. 환자군에서 음주 빈도, 음주량 그리고 커피 섭취량이 높게 나타났으며, 1일 흡연량이 많았고, 흡연 시작 연령은 빨랐으며, 금연 연령은 늦어 흡연 기간이 유의적으로 긴 것으로 나타났다. 환자군의 영양지식 정도와 영양태도는 비교군에 비해 유의적으로 낮았고 환자군의 영양지식 수준이 높을수록 좋은 영양태도를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 과거 10년간 식품 섭취 빈도 조사 결과 환자군은 등푸른 생선류와 콩류 및 된장, 두부를 비교군에 비해 유의적으로 더 많이 섭취하였고 해조류, 생 녹황색채소류, 익힌 녹황색 및 담색채소류와 녹차를 더 적게 섭취한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 일상생활의 스트레스와 가족의 암 병력 및 비관적 성격 유형이 대장직장암 발병의 위험인자가 될 수 있음을 제시하며 육식 선호, 적은 양의 물 섭취, 짜고 기름진 맛에 대한 높은 기호도, 음주, 흡연, 커피의 섭취 그리고 나쁜 식습관이 대장직장암 발생과 관련된 식생활 위험인자가 될 수 있음을 제시한다. 해조류, 녹황색채소, 담색채소, 녹차가 대장직장암 발생의 보호인자의 가능성도 제시되었다. 따라서 향후 지역적 식문화 특성을 고려한 보다 광범위하고 체계적인 조사 연구를 통해 이 지역의 대장직장암 발생의 위험인자와 보호인자를 재확인할 필요가 있다고 보며 본 연구의 결과는 지역민의 대장직장암 예방을 위한 영양교육 자료로서 활용될 수 있다고 본다.

Objectives: Colorectal cancer is one of the major cancers in South Korea. We described the time trends in colorectal cancer incidence in Daejeon, a metropolitan city, and Chungcheongnam-do (Chungnam), a rural province, South Korea. Methods: Using the databases from the Daejeon Cancer Registry (DCR) and the Chungnam Cancer Registry (CCR), age-standardized (to world standard population) rates for incidence (ASRW) were calculated. Average annual percent change (AAPC) was assessed as a trend indicator. The completeness (such as the mortality/incidence ratio) and validity (such as the death certificate only %, microscopic verification %, primary site uncertain %, and age unknown %) were analyzed to examine the data quality of DCR and CCR. Results: Incidence of colorectal cancer showed increasing trend in both sexes. Over the years 2000-2012 in Daejeon, ASRW was increased significantly from 37.2 to 51.7 per 100,000 person-years (AAPC, 3.9%) among men and from 17.1 to 28.4 (AAPC, 3.9%) among women, respectively. In Chungnam, ASRW was also increased from 29.8 to 50.1 per 100,000 person-years (AAPC, 5.1%) among men and from 15.9 to 26.6 (AAPC, 3.2%) among women, respectively. The AAPC for colon cancer was greater than rectal cancer in both Daejeon and Chungnam. The trend of rectal cancer incidence was differ by sex (AAPC in men vs women, 2.7% vs 1.7% in Daejeon; 3.5% vs 0.8% in Chungnam). Indices of completeness and validity showed that the quality control of DCR and CCR was adequate to describe the trends of ASRW. Conclusions: Both Daejeon and Chungnam have had a rapid increase in colorectal cancer incidence. Monitoring and intervention are required on the risk factors which may contribute to this trend.

The age-adjusted incidence rate (AAR) of colorectal cancer in Korea peaked in 2011 and then began to decline. However, the AAR of colorectal cancer in Jeju increased continually from 1999 to 2013. Compared with the 16 major cities in Korea, the inhabitants of Jeju-do have a low cancer screening program participation rate, high alcohol consumption rate and high BMI. The present study aimed to provide a statistical basis for the lowering of the incidence of colorectal cancer in Jeju-do. The Jeju regional cancer institute data from 1999 to 2013 was used to analyze the between Jeju-do and Korea using the Joinpoint Regression program (Statistical Methodology and Applications Branch, Surveillance Research Program, National Cancer Institute) Version 4.2.0 - April 2015. The AAR of colorectal cancer in Jeju-do has being increasing because of the increase in the rates of male colon cancer (average annual percent change 8.422%, p-value<0.000), female colon cancer (AAPC 6.136%, p-value<0.000), male rectal cancer (AAPC 4.221%, p-value 0.003) and colon cancer in people aged over 50 years (AAPC 7.986% p-value<0.000). The results of this study suggest that the treatment of precancerous lesions of the male rectum and lowering of the incidence of colon cancer in people aged over 50 years are necessary to reduce the colorectal cancer incidence rate in Jeju-do.
