  • Colorectal adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in 595 out of 612 patients, indicating a high prevalence in the Western Cape.
  • The most common age group for rectal adenocarcinoma diagnosis was 60-70 years, while colon adenocarcinoma was prevalent in ages 50-60.
  • Analysis of histopathological data demonstrated that stage IIIB was the most common for colon adenocarcinoma among subjects.
  • Patients with stages III and IV colorectal adenocarcinoma showed higher serum CEA elevation compared to earlier stages.
