Session 1: The surgeon as a prognostic factor in colon and rectal cancer?

J Bhoday et al. Colorectal Dis. 2018 May.

Abstract

The impact of quality of surgery, colorectal surgical specialization, training and expertise has been far greater on survival outcomes than adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies. The review of the evidence by Professor Martling and expert discussion addresses the evidence base and the crucial importance of the surgeon as a prognostic factor, and how this has been relatively neglected in comparison to other resources invested in improving the treatment of colorectal cancer.
