Peculiarities of mucinous colorectal carcinoma.

摘要: The clinical and pathological features of 54 mucinous carcinomas the large intestine were compared with those 576 non-mucinous carcinomas. Tumours only categorized as if they contained at least 60 per cent mucin by volume. Those a moderate content (60-80 cent) indistinguishable in behaviour from 'non-mucinous' tumours. By contrast, high (greater than 80 showed several differences cancers: had more proximal distribution through intestine, comprised greater fraction cancers under 50 age group (24 versus 7 cent: P less 0.01), likely to be Dukes' stage 'D' (58 31 0.01) local fixity was commoner (70 37 0.001). Consequently overall resection rate reduced 90 73 (P curative 69 42 5-year survival 18 0.05). Colorectal require wide excision, tend recur locally carry poor prognosis.
