[Results of combination therapy of rectal cancer]
Abstract
A comparative study of the results of treatment in 264 patients treated surgically and in 236 patients subjected to a combination treatment, using an intensive concentration gammatherapy (500 rad daily up to 3000 rad), has demonstrated that preoperative irradiation does not result in a higher postoperative mortality. In the combination therapy all kinds of surgery performed for rectal cancer seem to be feasible.
