Abstract
Aim To determine the outcome of surgery for colorectal cancer from a single region and to see whether location of the primary cancer influences prognosis. Method Patients with colorectal cancer diagnosed from January 2002 to December 2006, entered into a prospective database were followed until death or to December 2008. Right-sided (caecum to transverse colon) and left-sided (splenic flexure to rectosigmoid junction) colonic cancers and rectal cancers (distal to rectosigmoid junction to the anus) were identified.
