Abstract

A review of 285 patients operated for colo-rectal cancer in order to evaluate cholecystectomy rate in their pathologic history is reported. A surprisingly high rate (9.47%) was registered also when compared with Literature data. Although not definitely conclusive for a positive correlation between cholecystectomy and colo-rectal cancer, the Authors believe that this study identifies a subgroup of patients potentially at risk for colo-rectal cancer. In these subjects a prophylactic, periodic colonoscopy could be useful.
