[Modern photofluorography in the diagnosis of colon cancer]

A basic improvement of the diagnostics of colorectal carcinoma (KK) in risk groups requires a complex program for a standardized fluorography of the colon and indication related endoscopy in ambulant treatment. For this we devised principles for the use of colon photofluorography as a screening method for the detection of colorectal carcinoma. In respect of organization this means the selection of risk groups and the use of new elements in colon photofluorography "prescopic period", that is carried out without radiation and automatic remote controlled air application into the rectum. We investigated 3120 patients in 96 cases and found one KK and 91 benign tumours. Our experiments show, that with this program the diagnostics of tumours can be significantly improved.
