Time and Season Incidence of Complicated Colorectal Cancer

Abstract

Colorectal cancer complications are seldom analyzed for occurrence through day and night, working days and weekends, as well as throughout seasons. We hypothesized that information and analysis of high/low complicated colon cancer incidence in the above mentioned terms can improve our preparedness and manage better the resources for superior outcomes. Therefore we performed a retrospective study/2010 – 2018/ of 165 patients with complicated colorectal cancer operated on emergently or urgently in the Second Clinic of General and Thoracic Surgery, University Hospital St George, Plovdiv, Medical University Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
