Between 1963 and 1978 the authors operated 371 patients for adenocarcinoma of the colon. The operability rate was as high as 99%. Sixty-three percent of the group were women. The average age was 66 years. A resection could be done in 86.5% of the cases; of those 75% were considered curative. Only 6.7% were stage A. Right-sided lesions were treated with a right hemicolectomy. On the left side a left hemicolectomy was the operation of choice. A segmental resection was performed when local and general factors were unfavorable. The operative mortality (within 30 days) was 12.5% for the total group for "curative" resections the mortality was 9.9% all cases considered and 7.3% for these operated upon between 1971 and 1978. The survival rate for all operated patients is 34.8% (corrected 42.1%) 5 years later and remains about the same at 10 years (29.3%) (corrected 41.9%).
1963年至1978年间，作者为371例结肠癌患者实施了手术。手术成功率高达99%。该组患者中63%为女性。平均年龄为66岁。86.5%的病例可以进行切除手术；其中75%被认为是根治性的。只有6.7%为A期。右侧病变采用右半结肠切除术治疗。左侧病变则选择左半结肠切除术。当局部和全身因素不利时，进行节段性切除。全组患者的手术死亡率（30天内）为12.5%，“根治性”切除的死亡率为9.9%，所有病例综合考虑为7.3%，1971年至1978年间接受手术的患者死亡率为7.3%。所有接受手术患者5年后的生存率为34.8%（校正后为42.1%），10年后保持在大致相同水平（29.3%）（校正后为41.9%）。
