Twenty-two patients with cancer of the colon and rectum were studied: preoperative and postoperative cell-mediated and humoral immune factors were assessed, and local concentration of immunoglobulins in tumor tissue and in normal mucosa were measured.

Clinical features and their prognostic value were evaluated in 83 colorectal cancer patients with liver metastasis. The clinical features analysed included presenting symptoms and signs, liver function tests, extent of liver involvement, associated extrahepatic tumor growth, and physical condition o
## Abstract In order to demonstrate a prognostic value of preoperative CEA levels, we have tried to define a correlation between CEA and histologie stage of tumor in 124 patients with colorectal carcinoma. CEA concentration has been evaluated by radioimmunologic assay and the histologie stage follo
