Abstract
A survey is presented of the clinical experience at St. Mark's Hospital with 83 patients suffering from metachronous cancer of the large intestine. It was found that there was a much improved chance of cure in those who were attending the follow-up clinic at the time of the occurrence of their second growth. The reasons for this and the implications in cancer prophylaxis are discussed.Keywords
