Abstract

An analysis was made of the place of death and the degree of institutional support required following surgery in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who had distant metastases. There was a high incidence of intermediate admissions to an acute hospital, and most patients died in an acute hospital bed. The number of readmissions and the place of death were not influenced by the patients' age, sex, site of tumour or their home situation at the time of diagnosis. In view of the high demand for acute surgical beds, there is a need to develop more appropriate facilities to care for patients in the terminal phase of this disease.
