title: [Colonic neoplasms: long-term survival after surgical treatment. Our experience].
abstract: The surgery is still the only treatment for large bowel tumours. The patients who underwent a radical operation and then were treated with chemo and/or radiotherapy have not shown a longer free-disease survival. Palliative resection should be preferred to by pass operation, since the latter has shown less postoperative morbility and mortality. The authors report their experience on 139 patients with large bowel tumours operated between 1979 and 1988, and they analyze the surgical results and the five-years survival according to the stage of disease.
