lt of good surgery and selective use of radiotherapy, and has had an enormous impact on cancer survival. To our knowledge, Sweden is the only country where rectal cancer patients are doing better than those with colon cancer.

"A new project in Sweden will be exploring whether this dramatic improvement in survival is due to the fact that previously rectal cancer patients had been treated less well than colon cancer patients and have now reached the same level, or whether there should be a difference between colon and rectal cancer patients and that maybe we should be concentrating on improving the treatment for colon cancer now."
