Abstract
This study analyses time trends in clinical features, tumour pathology and treatment outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated by surgery alone during the period 1971 to 1994 in a large Australian tertiary referral centre. Throughout this period, both surgical technique and pathology reporting were standardized and a specialized unit of colon and rectal surgery was established in 1980. Improvement in overall survival during this 24 year period reflects changes in tumour stage with an increasing proportion of stage A tumours, declining proportions of stage D tumours, and some improvement in survival for stages B and C colon cancer only.
