Survival rates are like the view from 30,000 feet: They're broad but not super-detailed. These figures are estimates of how long people with a certain type of cancer and stage might live. Stage IV colon cancer has a relative 5-year survival rate of about 14%. This means that about 14...
8.2.3.2.4DNA base excision repair genes DNA repair mechanisms such as MMR or base excision repair (BER) affect tumor characteristics and prognosis. They also determine chemotherapeutic response. Defective MMR leads to chemoresistance in colon cancer. The BER gene, that is, the MYH gene is respons...
which usually carries a grim prognosis compared to earlier stages of the disease. The five-year survival rate for patients in this stage may depend on different factors such as the type of cancer he has, his overall general health, the type of treatment used and ...
Additionally, no clear linear pattern between adjuvant chemotherapy and better adjusted relative survival in colon cancer was observed22. These results did not indicate that radiotherapy and chemotherapy will benefit patients with stage IV colorectal cancer after surgery. This may only reflect that ...
We identified 16,168 beneficiaries with stage IV colon cancer on presentation who met the inclusion criteria (Fig. 1). The mean age of the study population was 77.8 ± 7.3 years. Females comprised 53.8 % of the cohort. The majority of patients were white (82.9 %) and had a Charlson como...
Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. The reported incidence of recurrent disease increases with the stage, and the 5-year survival rate is poor, especially for tumors with regional spread and for late-stage dis...
