Awareness Survey about Colorectal Cancer in Students of M. Phil Biotechnology at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan by Muhammad Imran Qadir in Novel Approaches in Cancer Study
Cancer of colon and rectum is collectively called Colorectal Cancer
(CRC). It is considered as the second most lethal cancer after lung cancer. One
of the symptoms of CRC is rectal bleeding. A survey was conducted to
evaluate the level of awareness among M. Phil Biotechnology students.
The key
idea of this survey was to develop understanding about this deadly
disease. A questionnaire consisting of 15 basic questions about CRC was
developed.
Total 37 students filled the questionnaire; 31 were females while 6 were
males. Results clearly demonstrated the unawareness of the students
towards
this lethal CRC. In the first section about causative agents; 78% of the
students answered that CRC is a bacterial disease. Next portion was
about the
victims of CRC in your surroundings; more than 95% of students never
witnessed any case of CRC in their family or vicinity. 3rd category was
about
transmission route of CRC; according to 38% of students, CRC can be
transferred from affected parents to offspring and in the last section
which was
about possible treatments of CRC; 97% students answered that CRC can be
treated with medication only while 68% answered that there is a need of
surgical treatment for CRC. Therefore, it is very important to spread
awareness among people.
