Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metachronous cancer risk varies by mismatch repair mutation in patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. Total colectomy offers decreased risk of metachronous colorectal cancers but decreased quality of life compared with segmental colectomy. OBJECTIVE: Compare segmental versus total colectomy for colon cancer via a mutation-specific Markov decision model. DESIGN: Simulated survival and...
