Improved Survival Outcome and Access to Cancer Screening from Hemorrhoid in Patients with Rectal Cancer
Figure 2
Kaplan–Meier survival curves of rectal cancer patients with or without hemorrhoid history. The curves showed significantly higher DFS (a) and OS (b) outcomes in the hemorrhoid group compared to the nonhemorrhoid group. Log-rank test values and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CI are given in each plot. DFS: disease-free survival; OS: overall survival.
