title: Do reproductive factors influence colorectal cancer survival?
abstract: During 29 years follow up of 63,090 Norwegian women, 1347 women had a diagnosed cancer of the colon or rectum. Seven hundred and fifty-five of these women (56%) subsequently died of colorectal cancer. We investigated possible relationships between reproductive history and cancer survival and found little evidence that reproductive history is of prognostic value for colorectal cancer survival.
