Staging cecal and ascending colon carcinoma with computed tomography

Gastrointest Radiol. 1988;13(2):152-4. doi: 10.1007/BF01889045.

Abstract

Operable subserosal and transserosal and inoperable cecal and ascending colon carcinomas can be differentiated by computed tomography (CT). Invasion of the posterior peritoneal reflection produces recognizable changes on CT, which, with or without adjacent muscle invasion, are indicative of tumor nonoperability.
