The main aim of this study was, through the data of a population-based Registry, to establish the incidence of Dukes´ A lesions by year of registration and the main clinical features, and to assess cancer-specific survival.

Abstract

The main aim of this study was, through the data of a population-based Registry, to establish the incidence of Dukes´ A lesions by year of registration and the main clinical features, and to assess cancer-specific survival. One hundred and eighteen Dukes´ A colorectal tumours were diagnosed (in 117 patients) out of 1337 registered between 1984 and 1992 in the Health Care District of Modena, Northern Italy; 94 patients were treated with surgery and 23 with endoscopic polypectomy. The frequency of Dukes´ A tumours ranged between 4.8% and 18% by year of registration. Dukes´ A carcinomas were significantly more frequent in the distal colon. Only 5 patients (4%) died of their cancer, and in all patients the tumour was localised in the rectum. Carcinomas associated with a poor prognosis did not show any of the biological variables usually associated with an unfavourable outcome, but, our data suggest the possibility of incomplete removal of tumours at surgery.
