  • Title: [Operability and late results of treating recurrences and metachronous malignant tumors of the large intestine].
    Author: Mosidze BA, Simonov NN, Sneshko LI.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1978 Jun; 120(6):32-5. PubMed ID: 675982.
    Abstract:
    The analysis of the authors' observations has proved that the surgery in case of the recurrence of cancer of the rectum and colon is a quite justified method of treatment (the average survival period is about 2.5 years). But according to the authors' data, the operability and late results in the treatment of primary multiple metachronal cancer of the colon are higher than in case of the recurrence of cancer and practically do not differ from the operability and late results in solitary cancer (59.1% of cases survived more than 5 years). The authors have come to the conclusion that in such cases the differential diagnosis is a very important prognostic criterium.
