title: [Synchronous and metachronous carcinomas of the large intestine].
abstract: The authors present their experience relative to 5 patients with multiple carcinomas (synchronous and metachronous) of the large bowel. They underline that full examination of the colon before operation in all patients with primary colorectal cancer is necessary, and they propose a lifelong follow-up program after resection for early detection of multiple carcinomas.
