Note: CRC, colorectal cancer

^*Costs for care were divided into three clinically relevant phases of care—initial, continuing, and terminal care. The initial phase was defined as the first 12 months following diagnosis, the terminal phase was defined as the final 12 months of life, and the continuing phase was defined as the period between the initial and terminal phases of care. The terminal care phase for colorectal cancer patients was further subdivided into terminal care preceding colorectal cancer death and terminal care preceding death from other causes. For patients surviving less than 24 months after diagnosis, the final 12 months of observation and costs of care were then allocated to the terminal phase. The remaining time was allocated to the initial phase, and no time was allocated to the continuing phase.
