Component

Colorectal-cancer-specific survival

Colorectal-cancer-specific survival. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Among 964 colorectal cancer patients, regular aspirin use after diagnosis was associated with superior colorectal-cancer-specific survival in those with mutated-PIK3CA cancers, multivariate hazard ratio for cancer-related death 0.18 with 95% confidence interval 0.06 to 0.61, and superior overall survival at hazard ratio 0.54, whereas among patients with wild-type PIK3CA there was no association with cancer-specific survival at hazard ratio 0.96 or overall survival at 0.94, with the interaction between aspirin and PIK3CA yielding a p value of 0.009.
