Clinical characteristics and prognosis of different primary tumor location in colorectal cancer: a population-based cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the prognoses of patients with left-sided cancers were better than those of patients with right-sided cancers regardless of stage. PTL can be a prognosis factor in colorectal cancer. We encourage developing clinical and translational studies to elucidate the causative relationship between PTL and prognosis.
