title: Outcomes in non-metastatic colorectal cancer.
abstract: The measurement of outcomes in non-metastatic colon and rectal cancer patients is a multi-dimensional endeavor involving prediction tools, standard of care, and best treatment guidelines. Socioeconomic, demographic, and racial impacts on outcome must be carefully considered. Consideration must also be given to measures of cost, quality, and healthcare delivery in response to initiatives meant to optimize patient health while maintaining quality of life.
