title: [Colonic and rectal villous tumors. Comparative study of treatment by surgery or radiotherapy. Report of 104 cases].
abstract: The authors report and analyse two series of observations of colonic and rectal villous tumours. 47 treated initially by surgical removal, 57 treated by radiotherapy, (contact radiotherapy or interstitial radium therapy). After recalling the basic pathology, they expose the results of each group of treatment and draw practical conclusions. The treatment should first be surgical, the method depending on the site and volume of the tumour; radiotherapy may be a beneficial complement when the tumour is malignant and non-invasive or when a recurrence occurs. It may exceptionally be used as a cure when the tumour has a small diameter (less than 3 cm) and is situated less than 12 cm from the anus.
