Abstract
- A study of 578 patients treated for colorectal cancer in the North-west region comparing survival after surgery in teaching and non-teaching hospitals was performed. All patients had a minimum of 5 years follow-up. A greater proportion of elderly and emergency patients were treated in the non-teaching hospitals. The number of operative mortalities and 5-year survival figures for all causes of death and for colorectal deaths alone were similar in teaching and non-teaching hospital patients.
