Appropriateness of colonoscopy indication for colorectal neoplasm detection in patients under 50 years old with hematochezia

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the appropriateness of colonoscopy indication for neoplastic lesion detection in patients under age 50 with hematochezia. METHODS: Retrospective and cross-sectional study in patients who underwent colonoscopy, from 2002 to 2009. Inclusion criteria included patients with hematochezia over 20 years old. Exclusion criteria were: history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), polypectomy, family history of colorectal cancer (CRC), fecal occult blood (FOB), anemia, weight loss and personal history of cancer. Neoplastic lesions were stratified into proximal or distal to splenic flexure. RESULTS: 683 patients met the inclusion criteria in 5,000 colonoscopies registered. Median age was 49.46 years old (20 to 94 years old) and 486 patients (71.2%) were females. No proximal colon cancer was detected in the proximal group under 50 years old. Proximal advanced adenomas were diagnosed in one (0.9%) patient in the group of 30 to 40 years old (n=113) versus 7 (3.75%) in the group of 40 to 50 years old (n=187), with p=0.268. CONCLUSIONS: Malignant neoplastic lesions and advanced adenomas are uncommon and predominantly distal in the population between 30 and 50 years old, with hematochezia without risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, flexible sigmoidoscopy appears to be sufficient as the initial method for evaluating these patients.OBJETIVO: Avaliar a propriedade da indicação da colonoscopia para pesquisa de lesões neoplásicas em pacientes com menos de 50 anos com hematoquezia. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo e transversal, realizado em pacientes submetidos à colonoscopia, de 2002 a 2009. Foram incluídos pacientes com hematoquezia com idade igual ou superior a 20 anos. Os critérios de exclusão foram: história de doença inflamatória intestinal, polipectomia, história familial de câncer colorretal, sangue oculto nas fezes, anemia, emagrecimento e história pessoal de neoplasia. Lesões neoplásicas foram estratificadas em proximais ou distais ao ângulo esplênico. RESULTADOS: Obedeceram aos critérios de inclusão 683 pacientes dentro de 5.000 colonoscopias registradas. A média de idade foi 49,46 anos (20 a 94 anos) e 486 pacientes (71,2%) pertenciam ao gênero feminino. Nenhum câncer do cólon proximal foi detectado no grupo com menos de 50 anos. Adenomas avançados proximais foram diagnosticados em 1 (0,9%) paciente no grupo de 30-40 anos (n=113) versus 7 (3,75%), no de 40-50 anos (n= 187), com p=0,268. CONCLUSÕES: As lesões neoplásicas malignas e os adenomas avançados são pouco frequentes e predominantemente distais na população entre 30-50 anos, com hematoquezia, sem fatores de risco para o câncer colorretal. A retossigmoidoscopia flexível, portanto, parece ser suficiente como método inicial para a avaliação de tais pacientes.
