Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second neoplasm more frequent in women and the third largest in men. Its silent evolution makes early diagnosis difficult. Objective of this work was to identify data the impact of introduction of prognosis colonoscopy of patient with colorectal neoplasms in Pakistan. Method: This was an observational, quantitative, analytical, retrospective and transversal study. Patients aged >40 years with colorectal neoplasms entered into the hospital admission system and listed in the ICD chapter as neoplasms were included. Patients with morbidities outside the predetermined period, having Neoplasms that are not of colorectal origin, or aged under 40 years of age were excluded. The analysis of the incidence and number of related deaths due to the CRC before and after the endoscopic procedure was made. Results: It was possible to determine the pattern of evolution of the number of hospitalizations for CRC between 2008 and 2020, considering 2013 as a milestone due to the introduction of colonoscopy. Conclusion: This study may benefit with information more consistent with leave from the reduction of the prerequisites the realization of colonoscopy. Expanding access to endoscopic examinations appears capable of promoting an even greater reduction in morbidity and mortality related to coloproctological neoplasms.
