Abstract
Analyzed data from an earlier reported experience with [human] colorectal cancer at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, compared with findings observed and analyzed from 1959-1977, indicate a changing pattern of distribution of colorectal cancers. These changes lead to therapeutic conclusion that fiberoptic flexible sigmoidoscopy is the preferred diagnostic tool.Keywords
