title: The possibilities of regression analysis application for prognosis in surgical oncology.
abstract: Regressive computer analysis was used for prognostic evaluation of immediate and long-term results of radical treatment of gastrointestinal cancer of different localization. The data were derived from 1,630 patients with gastric, colonic, and rectal cancer who were radically operated upon at N.N. Petrov Oncological Research Institute, the USSR Ministry of Health. A prognostic formula was suggested and verified for determination of the period of greatest risk of gastric cancer recurrences and metastases. Formulae were also devised for foreseeing the degrees of postoperative risk in patients with gastric, colonic, and rectal cancer.
