[The long-term results in complicated colorectal cancer (survival for over 3 and 5 years)]

Colorectal cancer survival depends on: stage of primary neoplastic process development, clinical complication pattern and clinical course of the disease, type (radicalism) of the surgical intervention done and histological verification of blastoma. As shown by the results, postoperative lethality in complicated colorectal carcinoma cases amounts to 17.1 per cent, whereas in those undergoing radical surgery for uncomplicated carcinoma it amounts to 6.8 per cent. Patients presenting complicated colorectal carcinoma are admitted to the clinic with diagnosis advanced stage of development of the disease which explains the lower survival rate. The studies performed show that five-year survivorship in patients with complicated colorectal carcinoma amounts to 33.3 per cent, while among those operated for uncomplicated colorectal carcinoma it is 62.7 per cent in the average.
