SummaryBackground Data: The prognostic importance of tumor adherence to. other organs or structures, either by direct invasion (T4) or simply by inflammatory adhesions, is yet to be clearly defined as earlier studies have been limited in size or have not used contemporary multivariable statistical techniques.Methods: Data were drawn from a comprehensive, prospective hospital registry of all resections for colorectal cancer between January 1971 and December 2000 with follow-up to December 2005.
