Colon and Rectal Cancer Survival by Tumor Location and Microsatellite Instability

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cancers in the proximal colon, distal colon, and rectum are frequently studied together; however, there are biological differences in cancers across these sites, particularly in the prevalence of microsatellite instability. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the differences in survival by colon or rectal cancer site, considering the contribution of microsatellite instability to such differences. DESIGN: This is a...
