Abstract
Colorectal cancer is known as one of the cancer disease that is often related to dietary habits, age,
sex, and family history. Laparoscopic resection is one of the recent techniques used to treat colorectal cancer
patients. The main objective of this paper is to model the success of laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer
patients at various operative stages using ordinal logistic regression. One hundred patients who underwent
laparoscopic resection for colorectal cancer were analyzed. All patients were operated on by 3 surgeons at
Hospital Kuala Lumpur tertiary referral center using standardized techniques and care plans assessed for
operative indications. Results indicate that the prognosis factors that can explain the pathological staging of
colorectal cancer were adjuvant therapy, metastasis recurrence and tumor thickness level. Pathologist may use
these findings to propose guidelines for appropriate treatment plan for a particular patient according to their
staging.
