title: [Colorectal cancer in the young adult: comments on a sample of 33 patients operated on with the goal to cure].
abstract: A retrospective study of the overall cases operated for colorectal cancer is reported. Subgroups of patients comparable for staging and grading, over 45 years of age and younger than 45 years, radically operated from January 1984 to June 1989, were analyzed in order to evaluate survival and prognosis in younger subjects. A favourable trend in relation to three-year prognosis was registered in younger patients (73% vs. 65%).
