Abstract
Summary: In a 10-years survey of large bowel carcinoma at Groote Schuur Hospital 926 cases were studied retrospectively. A marked difference was seen in both the age of presentation and histological differentiation in two different racial groups. All patients who were 29 years of age or less at the time of presentation have been studied in detail. Predisposing factors, symptomatology, treatment, pathology and prgnosis are discussed. It is apparent that large bowel carcinoma in the young has a very poor prognosis.Keywords
