: The present study was conducted in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. Data were stored anonymously in our colorectal cancer database, not open access. A proper broad informed consent for unspecified use of data was obtained for each patient. Patients’ data were stored only once anonymized, therefore confidentiality of the information linked to the data is guaranteed. Nobody among the researchers had access to the identification of patients’ information. According to local legislation (GDPR 679/2016, Par.26), anonymized data do not require data protection and ethical committee approval.
