Overall, 5-year DSS was 38.9%, with a median survival of 34.1 months (n = 590). By univariate analysis, patient age, sex, tumor size, tumor grade, histologic type, general summary stage, nodal status, and whether cancer-directed surgery was performed were significantly correlated with DSS....
Bowel cancer is a very serious disease affecting approximately 43,000 people in the UK every year. It’s the fourth most common cancer in the UK and thesecond biggest cancer killer. As with any type of cancer, the earlier bowel cancer is diagnosed, the better the chances of survival. This...
In the two earlier stages, before the cancer involves the lymph nodes, patients normally have an operation to remove the cancer from the bowel. They are rarely given chemotherapy in addition to the surgery. This is because for many patients, who are often elderly and frail, chemotherapy may c...

curable types of cancer if detected early. However according to Bowel Cancer Australia, fewer than 40% of bowel cancers are detected that early. A clear diagnosis in later stages can help guide clinicians to make appropriate decisions about prognosis, survival rates, surgery and other therapy ...
it is associated with a worse survival primarily in patients with colon cancer. Further work is needed to better understand the reason for these observed differences between IBD and non-IBD patients and to better delineate the impact of endoscopic surveillance on CRC care and outcomes in IBD patie...
