INTRODUCTION: Outcomes in @entity5 have improved dramatically after the introduction of @entity348 ( @entity348 ). Recently, the @entity348 concept has been transformed into that of complete mesocolic excision (CME) in an attempt to improve prognosis for @entity1 with @entity694 . @entity1 AND METHODS: Multidisciplinary team (MDT) workshops including the CME concept were held annually between 2004 and 2008 at the Karolinska University Hospital. The workshops focused on preoperative staging, surgery and histopathology and included lectures and live surgery sessions. To compare survival before and after the "Stockholm @entity694 Project" all @entity1 diagnosed with a right sided @entity694 between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2003 (Group 1) and from January 1, 2006 until December 31, 2008 (Group 2) in Stockholm were identified from the Swedish @entity14 Registry (SCRCR). RESULTS: The proportion of @entity1 having a @entity5 resection and the proportion having emergency surgery was higher in Group 1. There were more @entity5 and more R0 resections in Group 2. Overall survival in all diagnosed @entity1 and disease free survival after @entity5 resection was improved in the second time period. DISCUSSION: Surgical teaching programmes may have an impact on the management and outcome in @entity694 . The exact impact from the "Stockholm @entity694 Project" cannot be established, however it is likely that it contributed to the improved survival.
