title: [Acute treatment of colon cancer].
abstract: The primary treatment of left-sided colonic ileus due to cancer is after localisation of the tumor with water-soluble contrast enema placement of an intraluminal, self-expanding metal stent. If this treatment is unsuccessful, open resection with primary anastomosis is the treatment of choice. In the case of a perforated tumor, resection and primary anastomis may be performed if the patient s general condition is acceptable.
