  • Title: [Combined therapy of colonic and rectal neoplasms in an advanced phase].
    Author: Lavorato F, Germiniani R, Maione G, Boccasanta P.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1980 Nov 30; 35(22):1757-62. PubMed ID: 7231735.
    Abstract:
    The results obtained in a series of 75 patients suffering from advanced cancer of the colon-rectum are examined. Survival of these patients is looked at as a function of the extent of surgical demolition, and as a function of postoperative chemotherapy. Demolition interventions were followed by much higher survival than was observed following palliative operations. At the same time, survival was higher in patients who underwent post-operative chemotherapy. The results therefore justify a more aggressive approach in advanced cancer of the colon-rectum.
