Epidemiology and prognosis of synchronous and metachronous colon cancer metastases: a French population-based study.
2014
Epidemiological data on synchronous and metachronous metastatic colon cancer are scarce. We assessed epidemiological characteristics and survival in synchronous and metachronous metastatic colon cancer in a French population.Our study included 932 cases of metastatic colon cancer diagnosed in 1999-2010 and registered in a population-based cancer registry; 758 were synchronous colon metastases and 174 metachronous metastases from resected primary colon cancers diagnosed in 1999-2005. Univariate relative survival was calculated and a multivariate model with proportional hazard applied to net survival by interval was used.Mean age at diagnosis was 71.1 years for patients with metachronous meta…
