Current staging systems in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) utilize relatively few patient characteristics in comparison to the breadth of information available. The objective of our study is to analyze the heterogeneous set of variables that may influence mortality and recurrence independently in patients with CCR, and prepare a predictive model of survival and recurrence. Data from 288 patients who had undergone scheduled surgery for stage I-III cancer of the colon and upper rectum were used to construct Cox models for DFS and overall CSS at five years.

Methods: We used 21 young New Zealand rabbits divided into three groups of seven animals each. Two groups were subjected to TPN for 7 d, with each group receiving using one of two different lipid emulsions: Intralipid 20% (group LCT) and Lipofundin MCT/LCT 20% (group MCT/LCT).
