✦ Synopsis

Eleven cases of prolonged survival after extensive resection of colon cancer including neighboring structures are presented.

Techniques of ureteral and abdominal wall reconstruction are presented. Cures are possible with this approach, and without the availability of adequate chemotherapy aggressive resections remain the mainstay of treatment.
