Key result
Emergent curative surgery for colorectal cancer was associated with a significantly lower estimated 2-year survival rate compared to elective surgery (37% vs. 82%, p<0.001).

Emergent colorectal cancer surgery signals poorer survival and warrants prognostic caution; leaves open whether presentation timing or disease severity drives outcomes.

Absolute Event Rate: 37% vs 82%
p-value: p=<0.001
Emergency presentation of colorectal cancer requiring curative surgery is associated with increased morbidity, longer hospital stay, and worse long-term survival compared to elective surgery.
Kündeş et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Colorectal cancer (n=260). Emergent curative surgery vs. Elective curative surgery was evaluated on 2-year survival rate (p=<0.001). Emergent curative surgery for colorectal cancer was associated with a significantly lower estimated 2-year survival rate compared to elective surgery (37% vs. 82%, p<0.001).
