Abstract
THE intent of this survey is to present an investigation of facts pertinent to the care of 100 consecutive patients with cancer involving the lower segments of the large bowel and to offer an appraisal of the therapeutic effort employed in their management.This series includes both service and private patients at the Maine General Hospital, private patients at the Eye and Ear Infirmary and the Mercy Hospital, all of Portland, and one or more patients treated in each of six other institutions in outlying towns. It is obvious, then, that no one of these patients received all the advantages . . .Keywords
