Pattern of colorectal surgery and long-term survival: 10-year experience from a single center

Figure 1 Overall survival of different stage colorectal cancer patients after primary resection. A: In stage I colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, overall survival (OS) was not significantly different between the colorectal surgeon (CS) and general surgeon (GS) groups (P = 0.30); B: In stage II CRC patients, a less significant difference was noted between the two groups (P = 0.33); C: In stage III CRC patients, OS in the CS group was better than that in the GS group (P < 0.01); D: In stage IV CRC patients, differences in OS between the CS and GS groups were not significant (P = 0.98). CS: Colorectal surgeon; GS: General surgeon.
