title: The effect of family history of cancer, religion, parity and migrant status on survival in colorectal cancer. The Melbourne Colorectal Cancer Study.
abstract: The association between 5-year survival and several risk factors was investigated in 705 histologically confirmed, new cases of colorectal adenocarcinoma as one aspect of a comprehensive population-based study of large bowel cancer incidence, aetiology and survival--the Melbourne Colorectal Cancer Study. 5-year survival was not influenced by the previously determined risk of a family history of colorectal cancer in near-relatives. Similarly, other previously determined risk factors of religion, number of children, age at birth of first child and migrant status did not influence survival.
