The screening of title and abstract using inclusion and exclusion criteria, filtering double, and reading full text led to one useful article. This study, which is meta-analysis was critically appraised for its validity, importance and applicability. Results: the relative risk of colorectal cancer patient with pre-existing obesity having cancer-specific mortality and all-cause mortality is 1.22 (95% CI, 1.003-1.35) and 1.25 CI (95% CI, 1.14-1.3) respectively, when compared with non-obese colorectal cancer patient. Conclusion: pre-existing obesity is related to increased risk of all-cause mortality and cancer-spesific mortality of in colorectal patient. Control of body weight is recommended in this patient through combination of diet, physical activity, behavior therapy, pharmacotherapy, and surgery.
