The development of carcinoma of the colon
The American Journal of Gastroenterology
|May 1, 1977
Abstract:
Carcinoma of the colon usually starts as a small nidus of malignant cells on the tip of adenomatous/villous polyps. The term "early cancer of the colon" is introduced as part of the concept that there are stages in the development of colon cancer and that it can and should be treated at an early stage. Removal of polyps at any point in their development up to the stage of early invasiveness represents the most favorable time for resection and cure.
