Abstract

We analysed presentation, treatment and survival in a representative population-based sample of 3753 Italian colorectal cancer cases, diagnosed 2003-05: 70% were >65 years, 44% stage I-II, 27% stage IV and 92% received surgery. Chemotherapy was given to 58% of stage III colon cases, radiotherapy to 25% of rectal cases. Four percent of surgical cases underwent endoscopic polypectomy, and in 57% â 11 lymph nodes were examined. Five-year relative survival was good (60%), independent of sex and site. Adherence to treatment guidelines was satisfactory, but wider use of faecal blood testing and colonoscopy will anticipate stage at diagnosis and likely improve survival.
