<b><i>Background:</i></b> Complete mesocolic excision (CME) and a high (apical) vascular tie may improve oncologic outcome after surgery for colon cancer. Our primary aim was to emulate previous national result of 73.8% overall survival (OS) with both the open laparoscopic techniques. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A prospective study radical cancer initiated in Norwegian community teaching hospital 2007 comprised consecutive group 251 patients TNM...
A national surveillance program of colon cancer treatment was introduced in 2007. We examined prognostic factors for operated 2000 with an aim improving survival the new and a special focus on merit lymph node yield. cohort 269 patients, 152 women (56.5%), mean age 71 years, at three teaching hospitals followed up 7 years. Overall 5-year 58.0%, overall hospital mortality 5.2%, 4.5% elective cases 12.5% after urgent surgery. In only 41.1% specimens were 12 or more nodes retrieved, but this...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome for gastric cancer patients treated at a medium sized Norwegian hospital. medical journals all 356 with Levanger Hospital from 1980 2004 were retrospectively analysed.
