Abstract
After adjusting for age and clinicopathologic stage, significantly poorer survival was experienced by males, patients with extensive tumor adherent to other organ(s), those with a high-grade tumor or a tumor showing venous invasion, those who had a postoperative cardiovascular or respiratory complication, and those who did not undergo surgery by a colorectal surgeon specialist. The nature of the operation performed had no independent effect on survival.
