Colorectal carcinoma and myelopathy.
Journal of the American Paraplegia Society 1984 April
The incidence and pathological features of colorectal carcinoma in a population of veterans disabled by myelopathy were examined by record review. Thirteen cases of colorectal carcinoma were found among the 1023 such individuals (99 percent male) who were hospitalized and subsequently followed between April 1, 1973 and September 22, 1983. The age adjusted incidence rates ranged from 316 per 100,000 person years in the sixth decade to 1886 per 100,000 person years in the ninth decade of age. These rates were two to six times the highest reported rates for general male populations (P less than 0.05). The location of carcinoma was proximal to the rectosigmoid colon in 62 percent of the 13 paralyzed patients, but in only 12 percent of 31 nonparalyzed male patients with colorectal carcinoma diagnosed at the same hospital in 1977-1979 (P less than 0.001). The stage of the tumor at diagnosis was Dukes Kirklin C in 83 percent of paralyzed patients and 48 percent of the nonparalyzed patients (P less than 0.001). We conclude that colorectal carcinoma is more common, more proximal in location, and more advanced at diagnosis in male subjects with myelopathy than in nonparalyzed male subjects.
