[Possibilities of computerized tomography in the diagnosis of recurrences of cancer of the large intestine].
To study the potentialities of CT in the diagnosis of recurrent cancer of the large bowel, 325 patients underwent various surgical interventions for colorectal carcinoma were examined. The surgery-CT study interval ranged from 2,5 months to 11 years. It was found that CT might detect various intra- and extraintestinal relapses and generalize a tumorous process. With this, the efficiency of CT is higher than that of other diagnostic tools in the detection of extraintestinal relapses and generalizing the tumorous process. To timely reveal a relapse the CT interval should exceed 4-5 months.
