| Summary: | In recent years, the increasing attention has been paid to the incidence and risk from colorectal cancer (CRC), especially in patients with metabolic syndrome. CRC is the third most common malignant disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Hypertension and cancer are two multifactorial, severe and chronic diseases.
For this study, we investigated 49 patients with colorectal cancer operated in the Surgical Clinics of the University Hospital "Prof. Dr. S. Kirkovich" - Stara Zagora in the period 2017-2019 and were examined retrospectively. From the studied group (n = 49) the patients were between 50 and 88 years of age (median 73 years, mean 71.88 ± 9.28 years), 46.9% men (n = 23) and 53.1% women (n = 26).
From the clinical data our results showed the presence of rectorage in 18.4%, diarrhea in 4.1%, and hypertension in 77.8%. Type II diabetes was noted in only 6 of 12.24% of patients. The mean hemoglobin value in the study group of patients was 115.45 ± 19 g /l, and 55% of patients are with blood group “A”.
It is extremely important for patients with CRC to timely diagnose hypertension and its adequate treatment so that they can continue with their therapy without the risk of complications.
