Epidemiology of Stage IV Colorectal Cancer: Trends in the Incidence, Prevalence, Age Distribution, and Impact on Life Span
Abstract
Colorectal cancer is a common malignancy in men and women. Historically, stage IV colorectal cancer has 10 to 15% five-year survival. Developments in the management of colorectal metastatic disease have helped improve the overall survival of stage IV colorectal cancers from 12 to 30 months with some patients achieving disease-free survival.
