Colorectal Cancer 1998 Site Survey at University Hospital at Stony Brook
Age groups show colorectal patients seen at Stony Brook diagnosed younger compared to National Cancer Data Base.
Incidence of colorectal cancer among men and women at SBUH in 1998.
Colorectal Cancer Patients in 1998 by AJCC TNM stage at diagnosis demonstrates patients diagnosed at an earlier stage at University Hospital compared to national statistics.
Treatment options for colorectal cancer depend on the size and location of the tumor, stage at diagnosis, and the patient’s overall health. Three main approaches are surgical resection, radiation and chemotherapy. Percent of utilization of modality alone or in combination here is shown on the chart below:
Treatment modes by AJCC TNM Stage at SUNY Stony Brook University Medical Center in 1998 for 115 newly diagnosed analytic colorectal cancer patients.
Percent of colon cancer cases by anatomic sub-site comparing Stony Brook with National Cancer Data Base.
5 year observed survival for 881colorectal cancer patients at Stony Brook University Medical Center compared with SEER 1995 data, all stages.
Colon and rectum cancer incidence rates nationally are 54.4 per 100,000 in men, and 38.2 per 100,000 in women. Risk increases with age, with 73 percent of new diagnosis nationwide seen in persons over age 65. Among 148 colorectal cancer patients seen at UHSB in 1998, 115 were newly diagnosed and treated here with an earlier stage at diagnosis, and were of a younger age than national comparisons. Gender distribution was almost equal, and tumor directed treatment modalities at UHSB in 1998 included surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Survival observed at 5 years is slightly better than national statistics as seen in a site specific survey reviewed by our Cancer Committee.
