[New prospective trends in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal cancer].
The report deals with a 15-year long experience gained by the clinical staff of the Institute in treating more than 3,500 patients with gastro-intestinal tumors. In recent years, the research conducted by the staff has been focused on further improvement procedures for malignant tumors of this localization. Both surgical procedures and methods of combination and complex therapy have been improved. For example, since 1967 all operations for rectal tumors have been performed by two teams of surgeons working simultaneously. Most perineal wounds have been closed by sutures and vacuum-drained. Extraperitonization of enterstomy is considered to be an indispensable component of colon resection procedure. Lienal angle and distal third of transverse colon are being used on a large scale in performing abdominoanal resections.
