Abstract
The effect of duration of symptoms and other prognostic factors on survival was studied by interview using a population-based sample of 154 colorectal cancer patients. Symptom durations of up to .apprx. 1 yr before diagnosis apparently had no effect on survival. The total number of symptoms was evidently a statistically significant predictor of survival, although no single symptom had a significant effect. Stage, sex and site were also significant predictors of survival, whereas age, socioeconomic status and other factors were not predictive.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
