The prognostic relevance of the mucinous subtype of colorectal cancer is still controversially discussed. We designed a large-scale cohort study with a propensity score matching to evaluate the impact of mucinous subtype on postoperative survival, recurrent patterns and chemo-sensitivity in patients with colorectal cancer using the integrated database of three phase III clinical trials. We introduce a study concept and present preliminary results of an overview of the total individual patients’ data here.
