  • Title: [Possibilities of surgical treatment of large intestine cancer in patients over 70].
    Author: Mel'nikov RA, Pravosudov IV.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1983 Mar; 130(3):66-72. PubMed ID: 6857961.
    Abstract:
    The age older than 70 can not be regarded as a contraindication for the radical surgical treatment in patients with colon carcinoma and must not be a cause for giving the surgery up. In patients older than 70 the operation volume should not be reduced to the detriment of its radical character. Concrete indications to different operative interventions in this category of patients have been elaborated following the investigation performed.
