Abstract
The survival rate of 111 patients with colorectal cancer (Dukes'' A, B and C stages) treated by potentially curative surgery was examined. Survival was evaluated with regard to the appearance of postoperative fever and/or septic complications. These factors evidently do not significantly influence the long-term prognosis.Keywords
