The crude overall five-year survival rate for New Zealand patients with colorectal cancer treated surgically was 42 percent. Less than 50 percent of patients with Stage I and Stage II tumors survived ten years. Women survived longer after surgery than men. It was not possible to determine a biologic cure rate because postmortem data were not available.
