ABSTRACT
Results of the treatment of 225 patients operated between 1991-1995 on the colorectal carcinoma in the II Clinic of Surgery, Medical Academy Wroclaw are evaluated. The analysis of the own material covers the tumor site, age of the patients, histologic grade and clinical stage according to Dukes. The type of surgical procedure--curative or palliative and the evaluation of the survival, death and recurrence rate is presented. Curative procedures were possible only in approximately 60% of cases. The Dukes stage C and D was established in 55.5% of the operated patients. Authors believe that such a significant number of advanced cases was the reason of so poor results. In conclusion they suggest to introduce screening tests for early detection of colorectal carcinoma.
