Cancer of the colon and rectum. A review.

Abstract:

:Colonic cancer remains a major cause of death because diagnosis is usually delayed. Improved methods for earlier detection will maximize the patient's chances for survival. At present, surgery offers the greatest possibility of cure, but even in those instances where less than definitive resection is possible, there is much in the way of adjunctive and palliative therapy to offer the patient.
