[The risk of the occurrence of polyps and diverticulosis of the large intestine in patients with the irritable bowel syndrome]. / Risk vozniknoveniia polipov i divertikuleza tolstoi kishki u bol'nykh s sindromom razdrazhennoi tolstoi kishki.

A significant correlation between development of colonic polyps and long-lasting irritable colon syndrome was established. However, within the time interval studied (13-15 years), polyps which were mostly true adenomas did not turn malignant.

[Peculiarities of colonic cancer metastasis to the ovaries and the role of prophylactic ovariectomy]. / Osobennosti metastazirovaniia raka obodochnoi kishki v iaichniki i rol' profilakticheskoi ovariéktomii.

Colonic tumor dissemination to the ovaries was registered in 3%. The likelihood of such dissemination in locally-advanced cancer of the sigmoid colon was higher which in turn supports the hypothesis on colonic tumor dissemination to the ovary via transperitoneal implantation. The patients' condition improved and survival increased following excision of involved ovaries both during and at different stages after radical surgery. Preventive bilateral ovariectomy failed to improve 5-year survival.

[Trends in the distribution of stomach cancer and cancer of the large intestine among the population]. / Tendentsii v rasprostranenii raka zheludka i raka tolstoi kishki sredi naseleniia.

An inverse correlation in stomach and large bowel cancer distribution was established as a result of an evaluation of cancer morbidity statistics for the City of Moscow in 1965-1980. The structure of gastrointestinal neoplasms in the next five years is likely to undergo changes in female population in which large bowel cancer is leading at present.

According to the authors' data, the 5 years' survival following economic resections of the rectum for cancer is not worse than that after radical operations, done on properly determined indications.

[Early detection and results of therapy of malignant tumours of the rectum and sigmoid colon (author's transl)]. / Früherkennung und Behandlungsergebnisse bösartiger Rektum- und Sigmatumoren.

An analysis of statistical data indicates 0 growth of incidence and high percentage of advanced cases of rectum and colon cancer. The mean duration of preoperative history of rectum cancer comprises 8,9 months. The main causes of late diagnosis included the patients' unawareness of the symptoms of the lesion, and the defects of examinations performed in out-patient clinics. The efficacy of medical services rendered to this group of patients can be improved by extending the system of proctological services, establishing a practice of specialized out-patient examinations, screening procedures by proctologists, as well as developing modern diagnostic and operative measures for oncological lesions.
