Comparison of risk factors between colon cancer and rectum cancer in a single medical center hospital, Taiwan.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is rapidly increasing in developed countries. In Taiwan, the incidence rate of CRC has increased during the past decade, but the 5-year survival has remained at approximately 63%. In this study, we sought to determine the 5-year survival rate of patients diagnosed with colon and rectum cancer and to determine factors affecting survival.

The Risk Factors Affecting Survival in Colorectal Cancer in Taiwan.

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in developed countries. The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Taiwan is rising. We aimed to determine the five-yr survival rate of patients diagnosed with CRC and determine factors affecting survival.

Depression, Fatigue, and QoL in Colorectal Cancer Patients During and After Treatment.

In this study, we sought to explore the prevalence of depression and fatigue in colorectal cancer patients during and after treatment to examine how these variables affect quality of life (QoL). In total, 170 patients with colorectal cancer participated in this study. The study population was divided into two groups: one receiving treatment and another that had finished treatment.

[Symptom Distress, Depression, and Quality of Life in Colorectal Cancer Patients at Different Disease Stages].

Background: Quality of life is increasingly used as a primary outcome measure in studies that are designed to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment in cancer survivors.

Purpose: Analyze the symptom distress, depression, and quality of life in colorectal cancer patients and explore the relationship of related variables with changes in QoL (quality of life) during and after treatment.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used for the present study.
