The study of 152 patients with cancer of the colon (CC) showed that age represents a factor of risk in the evolution of disease having a decisive influence on the immediate and delayed results of the surgical treatment. Over two thirds of the cases with advanced clinical stages were detected in subjects over the age of 50. In young agers the evolution of CC was severe and metastases appeared early. In old agers the incidence of disease increased and postoperative mortality was maximum. The mean postoperative survival time in the extreme age groups (young and old agers) was short in all the clinical stages.
对152例结肠癌（CC）患者的研究表明，年龄是疾病进展中的一个风险因素，对手术治疗的近期和远期结果具有决定性影响。超过三分之二的临床晚期病例在50岁以上的患者中被检测到。在年轻人中，结肠癌的进展较为严重，转移出现较早。在老年人中，疾病发病率增加，术后死亡率最高。在所有临床分期中，极端年龄组（年轻人和老年人）的平均术后生存时间都较短。
