[Three hundred and seventy-one cases of colon carcinoma; analysis and results (author's transl)].
Between 1963 and 1978 the authors operated 371 patients for adenocarcinoma of the colon. The operability rate was as high as 99%. Sixty-three percent of the group were women. The average age was 66 years. A resection could be done in 86.5% of the cases; of those 75% were considered curative. Only 6.7% were stage A. Right-sided lesions were treated with a right hemicolectomy. On the left side a left hemicolectomy was the operation of choice. A segmental resection was performed when local and general factors were unfavorable. The operative mortality (within 30 days) was 12.5% for the total group for "curative" resections the mortality was 9.9% all cases considered and 7.3% for these operated upon between 1971 and 1978. The survival rate for all operated patients is 34.8% (corrected 42.1%) 5 years later and remains about the same at 10 years (29.3%) (corrected 41.9%).
