The predictors included a) age at diagnosis between 55 and 64 years; b) age at diagnosis between 65 and 74 years; c) age at diagnosis greater than or equal to 75 years; d) female; e) moderately differentiated tumor grade; f) poorly differentiated tumor grade; g) undifferentiated tumor grade; h) mucinous adenocarcinoma histology type; i) papillary adenocarcinoma histology type; j) adenoma. In adenoma, polyp histology type; k) signet ring cell carcinoma histology type; l) other histology type; m) left colon; n) rectum; o) T stage T2; p) T stage T3; q) T stage T4a; r) T stage T4b; s) N stage N1a; t) N stage N1b; u) N stage N1c; v) N stage N1nos; w) N stage N2a; x) N stage N2b; y) N stage N2nos; z) tumor size; and AA) number of positive regional lymph nodes
