Popis: | We report the case of a 14-year-old boy with adenocarcinoma of the colon. The diagnosis was established 3 months following the initial symptoms. The tumor was located in the region of the descending colon and was of Dukes B stage. The patient underwent left hemicoloctomy followed by chemotherapy and irradiation. In the follow-up period of two years the patient has been well. It is concluded that early diagnosis, adequate monitoring of patients by the determination of carcinoembryonic antigen and regular follow-up visits could lead to better prognosis. |
