applies to depressed, flat neoplastic<br />

lesions (type IIc) only when the diameter<br />

does not exceed 1 cm.<br />

Sporadic advanced colonic <strong>cancer</strong> is<br />

treated by segmental colectomy with a<br />

tendency to large resection. Adjuvant<br />

chemotherapy (5 FU-levamisole or 5 FUleucovorine)<br />

is recommended if lymph<br />

node invasion is confirmed and some<br />

advocate a similar indication in B2 (subserosal)<br />

tumours. Recently introduced<br />

cytotoxic drugs, such as irinotecan and<br />

Colorectal <strong>cancer</strong> is nowadays considered<br />

to be a chemosensitive tumour; in some<br />

patients, the occurrence of liver or pulmonary<br />

metastases does not exclude a<br />

curative management based upon combined<br />

resection and chemotherapy. The<br />

aggressive management of operable<br />

patients is based on initial segmental liver<br />

or lung resection followed by first line<br />

chemotherapy. In inoperable patients,<br />

first and second line chemotherapy protocols<br />

are proposed and a delayed surgical<br />

resection may be considered in some<br />

cases. The five-year survival following<br />

detection and treatment of colorectal <strong>cancer</strong><br />

is around 50% (Fig. 5.36).<br />
