    BackgroundThere are limited data describing different factors that influence survival rate of patients with rectal cancer.AimsOur aim was to determine the influence of patient gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status, the location of the tumor and stage of the disease on the patient survival rates after excision of rectal cancer.Settings And DesignWe included 385 patients who were operated between 2004 and 2014 in the University Clinical Center Maribor. The patients were treated due to rectal adenocarcinoma. We assessed survival rates according to gender, ASA physical status, the location of the tumor and stage of the disease with different statistical methods.Subjects And MethodsTo find the extent of correlation between factors and survival rate, we used means and medians, Log Rank test, Breslow test and Tarone-Ware test.ResultsAccording to patient gender, survival rate did not differ significantly (P > 0.05), however ASA physical status (P < 0.05), location of the tumor (P < 0.05) and stage of the disease (P < 0.05) significantly affected the survival rates.ConclusionsOur study showed that gender does not have a significant impact on survival rate as oposed to ASA physical status, the location of the tumor and stage of the disease.
