title: [Prognostic factors of surgically-treated cancers of the right colon. Multifactorial analysis of a series of 50 curative excisions].
abstract: Between 1970 and 1986, 502 colorectal cancers were operated in our department. In 82 cases, it was located on the right, including 50 patients who underwent curative right hemicolectomy. Overall, at 5 years, 23 patients are alive with no recurrence (46%), 17 died from their cancer (34%) and 10 patients died of intercurrent causes (20%). Among the 13 prognostic factors analyzed, only the pathologic stage of the tumor (extend of dissemination to the abdominal wall and lymph nodes) and preoperative fever had a statistically significant effect on 5 year survival (p = 0.001 for fever and p = 0.01 for Duke's stage). The multifactor analysis clearly delineates a group with a poor prognosis (group with lymph node involvement and fever) in which the median of survival was 30 months.
