I'd like to summarize by letting you know that the field is very aggressively expanding in the areas of molecular biology. There isn't much new in terms of chemotherapy or surgery other than the advances I've just spoken to you about, but I think screening tests will allow us to decrease the mortality from colon cancer. We have been able to document that sigmoidoscopy can decrease the risk of colon cancer by about 45 percent in the United States; the mortality rates are continuing to decrease. I'd be happy to answer some questions that I might have stimulated. Thank you.
我想总结一下,让你们了解这个领域在分子生物学方面正在非常积极地拓展。除了我刚刚跟你们谈到的进展之外,化疗或手术方面没有太多新的内容,但我认为筛查测试将使我们能够降低结肠癌的死亡率。我们已经能够证明,在美国,乙状结肠镜检查可以将患结肠癌的风险降低约45%;死亡率也在持续下降。我很乐意回答一些我可能引发的问题。谢谢。
