Abstract
The presenting symptoms of 167 patients with carcinoma of the rectum, sigmoid, and rectosigmoid were reviewed. The earliest symptom was a change in bowel habits and the most frequent symptom was visible blood in the stool followed by a change in bowel habits. The duration of symptoms was not related to survival or the stage of tumor found during surgery.Entities:
