Treatment results of colorectal cancer: 10-years series of UMC Ljubljana (1991-2000)

Abstract

5-years survival for R0-resected patients with colon cancer was in the last period from 1996 to 2000 statistically significantly better compared with the period from 1991 to 1995 (76% vs 60%) in stage I (p = 0,04048) and in stage III (p = 0,01842). 5-years survival for R0-resected patients with rectal cancer was significantly better in the same period (63% vs 55%) (p = 0,03627) in stage III (p = 0,01663).
