Comparison of Multivisceral Resection and Standard Operation for Locally Advanced Colorectal Cancer: Analysis of Prognostic Factors for Short-Term and Long-Term Outcome

Abstract

For locally advanced colorectal cancer, the long-term outcome after multivisceral resection is comparable to that after the standard operation. However, it should be recognized that multivisceral resection is associated with higher postoperative morbidity. In addition, a reduction in the incidence of blood transfusion may contribute to improving patient survival.
