Received chemotherapy	Doxorubicin with, MST = 280 days without, MST = 56 days		treated with prednisone
Type of surgery
Subtotal colectomy	MST = 138 days	Surgery not prognostic, but I cat lived 1355 days	All had surgery, but numbers too small for assessment
Mass resection	MST= 68 days
Biopsy	MST= 10 days
Metastasis	With: MST = 49 days	Not evaluated	Not evaluated
Metastasis	Without: MST = 259 days		MST = 199 days for 4 cats
