“…Colorectal cancer is considered primarily a "lifestyle" disease. The literature shows that demographic variables, such as age, gender, familial CRC history, diets high in calories and animal fat, alcohol consumption, and obesity, in addition to other factors, such as tumor site, size, grade, histologic type, TNM stage, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, have all been found to significantly affect survival in CRC [3,[10][11][12][13]. In the present study, we used population-based data from the Taiwan Cancer Database of the medical center hospital in North Taiwan to compare socio-demographic and clinic-pathological characteristics, prognostic factors, and overall survival between 2 groups of CRC patients, i.e., those with the colon or rectum as the primary site.…”

“…Many demography and clinicopathological variables have been observed as predictors for overall survival (OS) and DFS in patients with colon cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. These included age (12), sex (13,14), disease stage (11,15), performance status (16), tumor invasion (12,13,15,(17)(18)(19), lymph nodes removed (15,18,(20)(21)(22), and histological grade (18). Multiple reports showed that treatment characteristics such as the type of regimen (23,24), time to start treatment after surgical resection (25,26), number of cycles of chemotherapy administration (3,4,27), and dose of oxaliplatin used (5,13) also predicted the patients' survival.…”
