Abstract

Six cases of squamous-cell carcinoma of the colon or rectum (one of the colon and five of the rectum) treated at Roswell Park Memorial Institute during the last 20 years are reported in this paper, and the literature on the subject is reviewed. The pathogenetic theories proposed for explanation of the origin of this rare malignancy are discussed. The clinical features of the disease are presented and the role of endoscopy in diagnosis is stressed. The importance of surgery as the primary treatment modality is emphasized. The role of other modalities in the treatment of this disease is discussed.
