A critical reappraisal of Dukes' classification

C A Rubio et al. Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1977 Nov.

Abstract

The aim of this survey has been to stress the need of a uniform classification of tumor spread. This requires a standard procedure for processing the surgical specimens. An international standardization would permit a more objective comparison of the results of treatment and survival of carcinoma of the colon and rectum in different clinics.
