Abstract

Aim: In this study it was aimed to evaluate the distribution of operations for malignancies in a surgical clinic and to clarify the effects of age and sex on this subject.Materials and Method: Medical records of the patients who underwent surgery for malignancies during the last five years were evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups according to their age, as above and below 65 years. Age, sex and type of malignancies were recorded for analyses.Results: During the last five years 9436 operations were performed. There were total of 1137 (415M) patients with malignancies with the average age of 61 (17-87) years. Breast cancer was the most common cancer among women and 86% of patients were in younger group. It's incidence was not increasing with age. Colorectal and gastric carsinomas were a other common malignancies in this group. 33% of the male patients were over the 65 years group. The commonest malignancies in the male group were colorectal and gastric cancers. Although the incidence of colorectal cancers were increasing with age, gastric cancers usually were seen in younger group.Conclusion: Elderly cancer patients are likely to have comorbidities at diagnosis. Since this subset of the population expands, a special attention should be paid for this group and attempts for early diagnosis should be carried out.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada referans hastanesindeki bir genel cerrahi kliniğinde yapılan operasyonların içinde malignite nedenlerinin dağılımı ve yaş ve cinsiyetin bu dağılıma etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem ve Gereç: Son beş yıl içinde malignite nedeniyle opere edilen hastaların dosyaları tarandı. Hastalar 65 yaş altı, 65 yaş ve üstü olarak iki gruba ayrılarak yaş, cinsiyet ve malignite türleri değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Opere edilen 9436 olgunun 1137 (%12)'sinde çeşitli maligniteler saptandı. Hastaların 415 (%36.5) i erkek, 722 (%63.5) 'si kadındı, yaş ortalaması 61(18-87) idi. Kadın hastalarda en sık rastlanan tümör meme kanseri (%55 ) idi ve bu hastaların %85.5'i 65 yaş altındaki gruptandı. Yaşla beraber meme kanserinde belirgin artışın bulunmadığı tesbit edildi. Kadınlarda meme kanserinden sonra en sık gözlenen kanserler sırasıyla kolorektal kanserler (%19) ve mide kanseri (%15) idi. Erkek hastaların %33'ü 65 yaş üzerindeki gruptaydı. Erkek hastalarda en sık gözlenen kolorektal kanserlerdi (%44) bunu mide kanserleri takip ediyordu (%37). Yaş açısından değerlendirildiğinde kolorektal kanserlerin yaşla beraber belirgin artış göstermesine rağmen mide kanserinin daha çok genç yaş grubunda bulunduğu belirlendi.Sonuç: Dünyada yaşlı nüfusun arttığı bilinmektedir ve yaşlı kanser hastalarının tanı anında birtakım yandaş hastalıklarının olması kuvvetle olasıdır. Bu durumda yaşlı hasta grubunda erken tanının ve uygun hazırlığın önemi açıktır.
