The survival analysis of patients with digestive cancer

Objective To analyze survival condition of patients with digestive cancer and explore the influence of various factors to patients' survival time.The results will provide powerful evidence to prevent and recover from digestive cancer,prolong survival time and improve survival rate of patients.Methods 278 patients with digestive cancer received service of hospice from 2007 to 2009 were taken part in following up investigation and retrospective analysis.The median survival time and survival rate were calculated and the relationships among various factors were explored.Results The median survival time of all the patients died of cancer was 11 months and the average survival time was 20.4 months.The accumulated survival rate of 1 year was 0.478±0.031 and the accumulated survival rate of 5 year was 0.079±0.018.The gender,age,doing or not doing operation and the time of pain appearing influenced survival time statistically.Conclusion The most important measures of prolonging survival time of patients with digestive cancer were early found,early diagnosed,efficient operation and positive multiple intervention.
