%X the low number of registration of colorectal cancer cases in brazil has shown the difficulty in understanding the epidemiology of this disease, thus leading to a poor government planning for early diagnosis. the aim of this study was to report the cases of a service in salvador during three years and compare it with the national literature data. the data were analyzed, and we found similarity to the brazilian literature: higher incidence among females (53.7%), mean age of 57 years at diagnosis. stage iii was observed in 40.4% of patients, and retossigmoidectomy surgery was most often performed (54%). this study showed epidemiological characteristics of the population of bahia, being observed late diagnosis of the disease and the need for investment in early detection.
