Temporal improvements noted in life expectancy of patients with colorectal cancer; a Dutch population-based study

The aim of this population-based study was to determine conditional loss in expectation of life (LEL) due to CRC.All surgically treated patients with CRC registered in the Netherlands Cancer Registry with stage I-III between 1990-2016, were included (N = 203,216).
