ABSTRACT
The most prevalent cancer in the gastrointestinal system (GIS) is bowel carcinoma. Data on the incidence of cancer are important for several reasons. Cancer affects all nations and is, therefore, an infectious illness of considerable frequency variability based on the prevalence of the location. Several factors affect the prognosis of colorectal cancer, the tumor stage is the most important prognostic factor, as it describes the degree of penetration of the intestinal wall; metastasis of the lymph node, the distant metastasis adversely affects the cancer phase Prognosis. During the investigation, the radiologists use the Tumor-Node-Metastasis staging system, which allows the treatment to be feasible depending on the stage of the tumor. In this study, the main aim is to determine the outcome and stage of the tumor to each other where outcome groups are Disease-free, Partial response and Disease progression. This whole research includes descriptive analysis to make it a success where the data set comprises of patients who reported histopathologically in 2018. In most cases, the symptoms of colorectal cancer are invisible and people are not aware of the detective procedures resulting from the last stage of cancer, which makes it very difficult for doctors to treat. However, the treatment plan is given according to the stage of presentation assessed by clinical examination and radiological findings. Our findings suggest that the majority of victims are leading to high-level disease progression. Therefore social awareness of this terrible disease is needed at most. Also, early detection can help to reduce the morbidity rate.
