Post diagnosis diet quality and colorectal cancer survival in women.

Background: Dietary factors are known to influence colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, however, their association with CRC survival is unclear. Therefore, we prospectively examined the association between diet quality scores, dietary patterns and colorectal cancer (CRC) survival.

Methods: 1201 women diagnosed with stage I-III CRC between 1986 and 2008, were followed through 2010.
