| Abstract: | Between January 1985 and December 1989, 583 patients with carcinoma of the colon and rectum have been studied. In 85 with synchronous liver metastases discovered at laparotomy and followed-up, median survival time has been 5.8 months and 1 and 3 year survival 23 and 6 percent respectively. Favorable factors for survival were rectosigmoid location, single metastasis in the right hepatic lobe, normal values of alkaline phosphatase, resection of the tumor as well as stage II of Duke's classification. |
