The purpose of this study was to compare incidence rates and tumor characteristics of colon and rectal cancers for young versus older patients using a population-based cancer registry. Colon and rectal cancer patients reported in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry (1973-1999) ...

67#Background:Several studies show that patients (pts) with colon cancer, particularly pts with right colon cancer (RCC), have lower survival rates than those with rectal cancer. This argues that colorectal cancer should be divided into three clinical entities: RCC, left colon cancer (LCC) and...

Unlike colon cancer, rectal cancer has unique characteristics that make preoperative “chemo-radiotherapy” a popular treatment option, enabling 10-15 percent of patients with advanced rectal cancer to achieve a "complete remission," meaning the cancer i
Two-thousand sixty-five (606 right colon cancer [RCC], 366 left colon cancer [LCC], and 1093 rectal cancer [RC]) patients met the inclusion criteria. LCC had better overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in the non-adjusted analysis (p < 0.001) and better OS in ...

Improved management of colorectal cancer patients has resulted in better five-year survival for rectal cancer compared with colon cancer. We co... BS Ne...

In rectal cancer, total mesorectal excision surgery combined with preoperative (chemo)radiotherapy reduces local recurrence rates but does not improve overall patient survival, a result that may be due to the harmful side effects and/or co-morbidity of p
