ABSTRACT
Objective To study the prognostic factors of operative patients with colorectal cancer.Methods Four hundreds and ninety-four patients with colorectal cancer treated from January 2003 to December 2009 in Shanxi Cancer Hospital were involved in this study.The demographic data,clinical and pathological features,serum levels of tumor markers were analyzed retrospectively.The prognostic factors were analyzed by univariate Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models.Results The 1-,2-,3-,4-,5-year survival rates of 494 patients were 92.31％,69.43 ％,50.00 ％,31.17 ％ and 12.96 ％ respectively.Non-Cox proportional hazards model with time-according to coefficient of multivariate analysis showed that Duke stage,tumor metastasis,pathological diagnosis and serum carcinocmbryonic antigen (CEA) levels were the prognostic factors of colorectal cancer.Conclusion The Duke stage,tumor metastasis,pathological diagnosis and CEA levels are the prognostic factors of colorectal cancer,which should be considered in the choice of clinical treatment and prognosis judgement.
