Core Tip	The incidence and mortality rates of colon cancer are increasing; while most cases involve advanced-stage disease, T4-stage disease is rare and poorly studied. Survival time is an important indicator of treatment effectiveness, and this study identified multiple independent risk factors. T4-stage cancer invades the entire thickness of the intestinal tract, increasing the difficulty of treatment and the risk of recurrence, and requires a combination of multiple treatment methods. The prognosis of right hemicolectomy is worse than that of left hemicolectomy, and right hemicolectomy is an independent risk factor for a poor prognosis. Advanced age, histopathological type, and lymph node metastasis are also risk factors.
