Vital studies of the colonic mucosa in 127 patients using the method of colonomicroscopy
have allowed us to establish that the surface epithelium has a heterogeneous structure.
It was possible to single out three main types of cell organization. Correlation has
also been detected between types of cell organization of surface epithelium and morphological
structure of the most common neoplasms of the colon.
