Factors Influencing Survival in Stage IV Colorectal Cancer: The Influence of DNA Ploidy.

Objective. To evaluate the prognostic significance of microscopically assessed DNA ploidy and other clinical and laboratory parameters in stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods.

Predictors of survival in stage IV metastatic colorectal cancer.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to evaluate predictors of survival in stage IV metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC).

Patients And Methods: A total of 541 patients with histologically proven metastatic CRC (UICC stage IV) were retrospectively analysed and 37 variables were tested for their potential relationship to survival.

Results: Mean survival time was recorded at 12.

Evaluation of DNA ploidy in relation with established prognostic factors in patients with locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma: a retrospective analysis.

Background: Most patients with ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma are diagnosed with locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of DNA ploidy in relation with established clinical and laboratory variables in such patients.

Methods: Two hundred and twenty six patients were studied retrospectively.
