The study aims to evaluate the prognostic relevance of clinical and morphologic variables in colorectal cancer.
Analysis of data from a colorectal cancer register involving 134 patients followed up from 1984 to 1989.
Univariate and multivariate analysis performed to assess the impact of various clinical and morphologic parameters on prognosis.
Cox model used for multivariate analysis to identify independent prognostic factors.
Overall 5-year survival was 37%, increasing to 43% when considering only colorectal cancer-related deaths.
TNM staging and age at diagnosis were significantly related to prognosis in univariate analysis.
In multivariate analysis, TNM staging remained the only parameter with independent prognostic significance.
