Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the examination and treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) and on the behaviors of patients and practitioners. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of the CRC patients who presented to our department between April 2019 and March 2021 and underwent surgery. Clinical presentation of CRC and time from symptom onset to medical presentation were compared between the control (April 2019 to March 2020, n=124) and COVID-19 pandemic periods (April 2020 to March 2021, n=111). Results: Two hundred and thirty-five patien
