    Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) for colon cancer offers improved ergonomics and reduced surgical stress compared to laparoscopic surgery (LAS).

  • 2

    The study investigates the association between surgical stress response, measured by CRP levels, and long-term survival in colon cancer patients undergoing RAS or LAS.

  • 3

    Data for the cohort study was sourced from the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group Database, ensuring high accuracy and completeness in patient records.

  • 4

    Postoperative CRP levels are linked to overall survival, colorectal-specific survival, and recurrence-free survival in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.

  • 5

    The study aims to evaluate cancer recurrence risks and all-cause mortality in patients treated with RAS versus LAS for UICC stage I–III colon cancer.
