Why the study?
Does urgent operation impact overall and disease-free survival in patients undergoing resection for colorectal cancer compared to elective operation?
Does urgent operation impact overall and disease-free survival in patients undergoing resection for colorectal cancer compared to elective operation?
Urgent operation for colorectal cancer is not an independent risk factor for worse overall or disease-free survival when adjusting for baseline clinical and tumor characteristics.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Urgent resection shows no independent survival impact after adjustment; leaves open whether emergency presentation itself drives unadjusted outcomes.
Weixler et al. (2016) studied this question.
