Abstract
No signs of risk averse behaviour was found since the start of the audit. Especially the high-risk elderly patients seem to have benefitted from improvements made in colon cancer treatment in the past 8 years. For rectal cancer, trends towards the construction of more primary anastomoses are seen. Future quality improvement measures should focus on reducing surgical and non-surgical complications.
