Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent neoplasms in Brazil and in the world and its development is most commonly associated with the progression of adenomatous polyps to adenocarcinomas. These lesions are asymptomatic, detected in screening tests, with fecal occult blood testing and colonoscopy being the most traditionally used. Screening programs are important for early detection, improving morbidity and patient survival, allowing the initiation of treatment even in the early stages of the disease. Through a cross-sectional study with data collection, the objective is to correlate the main clinical manifestations and the histopathological findings of colonoscopies performed at the Instituto do Aparelho Digestivo em Goiânia, Goiás between the years 2019 and 2020.
