Survival Research
These studies researched the relationship between survival rate and various factors. 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.

Statins May Reduce Risk of Colon Cancer Recurrence
A study presented at the 2007 ASCO Annual Meeting determined that colon cancer patients who use statins may be less likely to have a recurrence. Some studies have indicated that statins reduce colon cancer risk. This particular study examined the medical records of about 350 people to determine if statins could help decrease the risk of a recurrence.

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.

Colon Cancer a Different Experience for African Americans
A study published in the Annals of Surgical Oncology examined the medical records of more than 14,000 colon cancer patients in Maryland and found that diagnosis and outcome tend to be a different experience for African-Americans.

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.

Predicting Prognosis via a Blood Test
The British Journal of Cancer published a study that evaluated the impact of a particular protein (C-reative protein) in the blood of people who received surgery for colorectal cancer that had spread to the liver.

Extreme Obesity Associated with Worse Colon Cancer Prognosis
A study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that extreme obesity may adversely impact colon cancer prognosis. Specifically, researchers determined that extremely obese individuals experienced higher colon cancer recurrence and mortality rates.

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.

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).
