Survival Research
The survival research included here tries to determine the factors that impact colon cancer survival rates. If you see an article that's relevant to your particular situation, feel free to print it and discuss the research with your doctor.
Anesthesia Choice May Impact Colon Cancer Survival
The type of general anesthesia patients choose during colon cancer surgery may impact their chances of survival years down the road, according to research findings presented at the 2007 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.

Colorectal Cancer Death Rates are Highest for African Americans
According to a report by the American Cancer Society (ACS), fewer African Americans are dying from colorectal cancer than in previous years. However, African Americans still have the highest death rate of any other racial or ethnic group for most cancers, including colorectal cancer.

Study Explains Why Exercising Aids in Colon Cancer Survival
A recent study published in the journal Gut explains why exercising can increase a person's chances of surviving colon cancer. The gist is that physical activity decreases insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and increases insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP-3).

Studies Find that Exercise Increases Colon Cancer Survival Rate
Researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston conducted two studies, both of which revealed that moderate exercise can significantly increase the survival rate of colon cancer patients.

Using Tumor Margins to Predict Rectal Cancer Survival
"Am I gonna die?" It's one of the first questions that comes to mind when diagnosed with cancer. The answer is almost always some version of "it depends," which, although accurate, just doesn't do a whole lot to address the question. Most people still search for numbers somewhere. A study published in the journal Radiology provides some.
