✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The outcome was determined for patients with Stage I cancers of the large bowel (colon, rectum, and anus) who were treated from 1982–1989. In 119 consecutive patients, the 5‐year survival was approximately 70% (72% by the absolute direct method; 67% by the actuarial life table method). Although the overall 5‐year survival was similar to numerous other published reports, it was disturbing to observe that 41 % of the living patients had relapsed. Furthermore, although 88/119 (67%) were alive at last report, 2–7 years after treatment, only 23 (19%) were believed to be free of cancer. We conclude that follow‐up for more than 5 years and the assessment of disease‐free survival are required to evaluate the outcome from Stage I large bowel cancer. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether cultured colonic adenoma and carcinoma cells undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death) in vitro and whether specific growth and dietary factors, thought to be involved in the control of growth and differentiation of human colonic cells, could induce
