ABSTRACT
We studied the frequency of different gastro intestinal malignancies (GIM) diagnosed in a given year, among patients attending gastroenterology department, and changing pattern of their occurrence over a period of 10 years (1984-1993). The records of all patients with histologically confirmed GIM were screened. Out of 83380 outdoor patients registered in the department over 10 years, there were a total of 1751 (2.1%) patients with GIM. The relative distribution of malignancy according to site was esophagus 36.0%, stomach 19.9%, liver secondaries 13.9%, colon 9.8%, periampullary 5.6%, gall pladder 4.5%, duodenum 3.0%, malignant ascites 2.6%, HCC 2.3% and pancreas 1.1%. Mean age for cancer of esophagus was 53.5 +/- 11.4 year, stomach 51.8 +/- 12.9, colon 49.1 +/- 16.7, duodenum 45.3 +/- 11.4, malignant ascites 51.8 +/- 13.1, pancreas 46.9 +/- 15.3 and HCC 52.5 +/- 12 years with an overall mean age of all GIM being 49.7 +/- 13.4 years. All malignancies were common in males except for cancer of gall bladder. The annual distribution of GIM did not confirm to a rising or declining trend with reference to the frequency of occurrence or age and sex distribution over the last decade.
