A parallelism was found to exist in cases of colon carcinoma between the number of affected lymph nodes and the chance of survival. Prognostication is possible by means of Dukes classification and the TNM system. Prospects of therapy can be improved by early detection of the tumour proper and of precancerous lesions. Colonoscopy is recommended as the optional diagnostic method, which applies equally to postoperative follow-up.
在结肠癌病例中，发现受累淋巴结数量与存活几率之间存在一种平行关系。通过杜克斯分类法和TNM系统可以进行预后评估。通过早期发现肿瘤本身及癌前病变，可以改善治疗前景。推荐使用结肠镜检查作为可选择的诊断方法，这同样适用于术后随访。
