The aim of our research is to study the basic demography age, gender and anatomical location of the tumor in patients with CRC registered in National Cancer Center of Sabratha from January to December 2013. Results: during Jan-Dec 2013, 135 cases of adenocarcinoma of colorectum were identified from our registry. The demographic characteristics of the patients are shown in Table 1. Age-stratified incidence of CRC showed that majority of the cases were in the age group 51-60 years (31.9%), followed by 41-50 years (21.5%). There were 13 (9.6%) cases of CRC below the age of 40 years. Ninety five (70.5%) patients presented with bleeding per rectum, 86 (63.7%) had lost significant weight, 73 (52%) had constipation, 70 (51.8%) had anorexia and another 49(36%) had a pabable mass.
