Carcinoma of the Colon and Rectum

Charles K. McSherry M.D., George N. Cornell M.D., and Frank Glenn M.D.

During the 30-year period from 1932-1962, 1,625 patients were treated for 1,654 carcinomas of the colon and rectum at The New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center. Of these patients 92.7 percent were operated upon and in 63.1 percent curative operations were attempted. The rectum and rectosigmoid were the most frequent sites of cancer of the large intestine (52.5 percent). Overall five-year survival rate for 1,625 patients was 28.9 percent. Patients subjected to curative resections had a five-year survival rate of 46.5 percent. The extension of carcinoma through the bowel wall and the presence of lymph node metastases were important determinants of survival in patients subjected to curative resections.
