title: [Operability and prognosis of rectosigmoid cancer].
abstract: The data of 571 rectosigmoidal cancer patients treated between 1959 and 1972 analysed to establish the factors hindering operability. The most important factor was a belated diagnosis. Suggestions are made for early diagnosis to improve the rate of early operations and thereby the prognosis.
