Hospital volume and outcome in rectal cancer patients; results of a population-based study in the Netherlands

In cT4 rectal cancer, treatment in high volume cT4 hospitals was associated with improved survival compared to low volume cT4 hospitals, although this association lost statistical significance after correction for neoadjuvant treatment.
