This retrospective report deals with 1357 cases of colorectal cancer operated on in the last 26 years. It covers the main epidemiologic data, tumour locations, surgical approaches, follow-up and prognosis according to the extent of the cancer. The results are given for the entire period and then by fractions thereof, and it is thus possible to appreciate how the treatment and prognosis of colorectal cancer have evolved. Though a high proportion of advanced cancer has been observed throughout the period studied, progress has been made in early diagnosis in particular: an increasing number of patients (13.5%) are nowadays operated on for tumours in situ or Dukes A.
这份回顾性报告涉及过去26年中接受手术治疗的1357例结直肠癌病例。它涵盖了主要的流行病学数据、肿瘤位置、手术方式、随访情况以及根据癌症分期的预后情况。报告给出了整个时间段的结果，然后按时间段进行细分，从而可以了解结直肠癌的治疗和预后是如何演变的。尽管在整个研究期间观察到晚期癌症的比例很高，但特别是在早期诊断方面取得了进展：如今越来越多的患者（13.5%）因原位肿瘤或杜克A期肿瘤接受手术治疗。
