Radiological Diagnosis of Hepatic Steatosis in Patients with Colorectal Cancer
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide. Insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia are the risk factors associated with cancer as well as non-alcoholic liver steatosis. There is evidence on the relationship between non-alcoholic liver steatosis with colorectal cancer. This study aims to find out the correlation between colorectal cancer and non-alcoholic liver steatosis by using computed tomography images taken for staging. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in MNR Medical College and Hospital from June 2015 to July 2017. A total of 68 patients with colorectal cancer included in this study. 35 patients with no history of cancer presented as a control group. Results: A total of 68 patients, 46 were male, and 22 were female. Liver density on CT was lower in the colorectal cancer patient group than in the control group. Conclusion: The liver density on contrast-enhanced computed tomography of colorectal cancer patients was low, which correlated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
