ABSTRACT

To investigate the relation between AR and the survival period in patients with colorectal cancer.Multiple variance Cox regression analysis was performed between AR, DNA and CEA in tumor tissues and normal mucosa, and other host and tumor characteristics, such as gender, age, location of tumor (colon, rectum), degree of differentiation (high, middle, low), Dukes stage (A,B,C,D) and the survival period, in 30 colorectal patients. There were no significant differences with regard to gender, age, histological differentiation, AR, DNA and CEA levels in tumor tissues. Rectal carcinoma had poorer prognosis than colon carcinoma ( P
