INTRODUCTION: The aims of the South Australian Clinical Registry for Metastatic @entity14 are to record case outcomes according to site of recurrence and mode of clinical practice and to utilize the accumulated information for quality assurance activities. METHODS: All @entity1 who had a diagnosis of synchronous or metachronous metastatic @entity14 ( @entity14 ) after 1 February 2006 were eligible to be included in the registry. Data on @entity1 details, disease characteristics, investigations, histopathology and treatment were collected. Disease-specific survival data were assessed using Kaplan-Meier product moment estimates and the log-rank test of equality was used for comparisons. RESULTS: 1544 @entity1 have been entered as of 22 March 2010. In addition, 54.7% of primary CRCs were in the rectosigmoid area, 92.9% of them @entity420 . Also, 52.6% of @entity1 received chemotherapy and 15% had radiotherapy. Two hundred five @entity1 underwent liver resection, nine had radiofrequency ablation and seven had selective internal radiotherapy. The overall 3-year survival from time of diagnosis of metastatic @entity14 was 29.5%. There was no significant survival difference between @entity1 with synchronous and metachronous metastatic @entity14 . @entity1 with lung- or liver-only metastases have significantly improved survival if they underwent surgical resection. DISCUSSION: The treatment of @entity1 with metastatic @entity14 continues to progress with modern medical and surgical developments. Important insights into the current patterns of care and clinical outcomes for metastatic @entity14 are provided by these data. In addition, this registry provides a feasible and useful database for the evaluation of current treatments established as best evidence in this population.
