Abstract

sites other than colon/rectum after mCRC diagnosis. By anatomic locations, 17.6% of patients had major surgeries on liver or lung (13.4% on liver and 4.9% on lung); and 32.3% had major surgeries on all other anatomic sites. Major surgeries on colon or rectum occurred in 35.9% of patients (32.9% on colon and 4.1% on rectum). Conclusions: Major surgeries are highly prevalent in patients with mCRC from this commercially insured population after mCRC diagnosis. This might have implications for anticancer drug therapy in mCRC patients.
