title: [Surgical treatment possibilities in colonic cancer].
abstract: The standard patient with colonic cancer is described. For the last 30 years surgery has been able to cure nearly 50% of colorectal cancers with 5% perioperative mortality. Technical novelties such as the stapler, antibiotics and colon wash have not improved this crude rate. Moderate improvement in cure rates can reasonably be expected from early detection methods. Surgery and endoscopic surgery are complementary and not competitive techniques.
