Carcinoma of the colon and rectum is the commonest visceral malignancy in this country today. Uncorrected five-year survival rates (1967-1971) for Dukes' A, B, and C lesions were 81 per cent, 62 per cent, and 33 per cent respectively, and are essentially the same as those observed in the previous five-year period (1962-1966). The actuarially corrected five-year survival rates for Dukes' A, B, and C lesions for the ten-year period (1962-1971) were 95 per cent, 90 per cent, and 55 per cent. Further improvement in these statistics depends on bringing the patient to operation with less advanced disease and possibly on supplementing resection with other modalities of therapy.
结肠癌和直肠癌是当今该国最常见的内脏恶性肿瘤。1967年至1971年，未校正的Dukes' A、B和C期病变的五年生存率分别为81%、62%和33%，与前一个五年期（1962年至1966年）观察到的生存率基本相同。1962年至1971年这十年期间，经精算校正的Dukes' A、B和C期病变的五年生存率分别为95%、90%和55%。这些统计数据的进一步改善取决于让病情不太严重的患者接受手术，并且可能取决于用其他治疗方式辅助手术切除。
