ABSTRACT
Introduction: Colorectal and anal cancer is a disease with high incidence and intestinal obstruction is its most frequent complication.
Objective: To describe the incidence and mortality of patients with colorectal and anal cancer and mechanical intestinal occlusion due to this cause.
Methods: A descriptive case series revision was carried out including patients diagnosed with intestinal occlusion due to colorectal cancer in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba, from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018. Living patients and deceased were studied.
Results: The incidence of colorectal and anal cancer had the highest rate in 2016, that is, 28.73 per 100,000 inhabitants. The highest number of occluded patients was in 2017 with 52.
Conclusions: The incidence of colorectal and anal cancer and occlusion because of this reason is above Cuban reports, similar to what occurs in countries in the region. Mortality due to occlusion is above international investigations.
