The article analyses treatment of 207 patients subjected to surgical intervention at the onco-proctological department of the Moscow City Oncological Dispensary in the period between 1982 and 1986. Most patients in the age group suffered from complicated and locally proliferated forms of cancer. Data are cited in favour of avoiding operations with formation of primary colonic anastomosis when the tumor in this group of patients is found in the left half of the colon.
