One of the leading causes of death and illness worldwide is colorectal cancer, which is becoming more common in developing nations like Libya. Colorectal cancer is among the most prevalent malignancies globally, with its incidence reportedly rising. The most prevalent cancer of the gastrointestinal system is colorectal carcinoma (CRC). It ranks fourth among cancers in women and second among cancers in men. The aim of our research is to study the basic demography age group, gender, place of resident, site of tumor, treatments of the tumor in patients with CRC in National Cancer Center Institute. The descriptive study of data of colorectal cancer patients that were collected at the National Cancer Institute of Sabratha from 2021 to 2023 was determined by the mean (M), numbers (n), and percentage (%). 360 cases of colorectal were identified and the demographic characteristics of the patients are shown that majority of the cases were in the age group 50-59 years ( 26.9%), followed by 60-69 years (28%). The data in the table and a comparison of the number of male and female patients throughout the three years show that in 2021 and 2023, the number of men and women was almost equal. In 2022, however, the percentage of males who were ill was greater than that of women. Almost of cases (17.2%) came from Tripoli followed closely by Zawiya with approximately 11.3%. while only 7.5% came from Sabratha which is the place of cancer institute. The analysis of study results by site cancer cells of colorectal cancer revealed that around 65.5% of cases had colorectal cancer. the most often used protocol, FOLFOX, by 18.6%. It is clear from the results of this three-year data analysis on the epidemiology of colorectal cancer that there are important insights into the patterns and trends of this illness. In the end, the results of this study could be used as a starting point for further investigations. Furthermore, adopting screening programs widely and raising health education and knowledge about colorectal cancers can lead to early detection and significantly improve the outcome..................
