Rectal cancer survival in the Nordic countries and Scotland.

13 Nov 2009 The aim of this study was to present detailed population-based survival estimates for patients with a rectal adenocarcinoma, using cancer register data supplemented with clinical data. Based on cancer register data, differences in rectal cancer ... Read more...

Expression of the macrophage antigen CD163 in rectal cancer cells is associated with early local recurrence and reduced survival time.

13 Oct 2009 Expression of the macrophage antigen CD163 in breast cancer cells is recently shown to be related to early distant recurrence and shortened survival. In this study, 163 patients with rectal cancer, included in the Swedish rectal cancer trial and ... Read more...

Therapeutic delay reduces survival of rectal cancer but not of colonic cancer.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The relationship between therapeutic delay and long-term survival from colorectal cancer is unclear. This association was examined prospectively among patients with colorectal cancer in Denmark. METHODS: A total of 740 patients with ... Read more...
