title: [Colorectal cancer: anatomopathological findings in 100 cases treated with surgery].
abstract: One hundred cases of colorectal cancer resected at the University Hospital of Caracas are presented, with emphasis in the Pathological Findings (Anatomical location and staging included). Age and sex distribution are comparable to data presented in other local series; in contrast, the proportion of rectal cancer is below expectations (only 5% of all cancer of the large intestine). The majority of cases are diagnosed in advanced stages (predominantly Dukes stages B and C).
