Article Synopsis
- Colon cancer is a significant health issue in Colombia, being the third most common cancer and surpassing gastric cancer in incidence rates.
- A national study analyzed data from 2012-2017 to explore the link between the volume of surgeries performed at hospitals and patient mortality rates post-surgery.
- Results revealed that patients at high-volume hospitals had a significantly lower risk of dying within 30 days after surgery, although this effect did not extend to one-year mortality rates.
