ABSTRACT
Colorectal carcinoma is the third most frequently diagnosed malignant neoplasm. Usually patients affected by this neoplasia belong to VI decade of life. However approximately 2-8% of tumors arise in patients with age under 40 years. Aim of the study was to analyse the results of surgical treatment of colorectal cancer in patients aged under forty. From January 1987 to December 2002, 46 patients under forty years with colorectal cancer underwent surgical procedure. No perioperative mortality was registered, and complications were evidenced in nine patients (20%). Actuarial five years survival was 33%, and overall mean survival was 53 months. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified as prognostic factors the tumor grade, Dukes' stage, nodal status, and length of symptoms.
