Retrospective study on the Department of Surgery Pardubice General Hospital. There are compared two periods – the years 1991 and 2006. Particularly there are followed numbers of procedures, diagnostics methods, types of procedures, size of the tumor, lymph node and systemic metastases, preoperative time and age of the patients.
