  • Title: Splenomegaly with carcinoma of the colon and rectum.
    Author: Tootla FS, Gennaro A, Malmud L.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1979 Mar; 148(3):412-4. PubMed ID: 419445.
    Abstract:
    Scans of the liver and spleen were reviewed for patients with carcinoma of the large intestine. The patients were divided into groups, depending upon the size of the liver and spleen. Those with enlarged spleens tended to have an increased survival time compared with those without splenomegaly. It is postulated that splenomegaly is a good predictor of survival when used with the Dukes' classification and that the increased size of the spleen is on an immunologic basis.
