title: [The possibilities of occupational rehabilitation of radically treated patients with rectal cancer (author's transl)].
abstract: The analysis of social and occupational rehabilitation of 372 patients with recta cancer in working age radically treated at N. N. Petrov Research Institute of Oncology of the USSR Ministry of Health in 1950--1970 revealed, that not less than 50% of patients returned to work and were readapted in their family and social environment. About 70% of patients are working, having an invalidity group. The interrelationship and the direct influence of different factors (characterizing the state of the patient's organism, the type of tumor, the stage of the disease, the character of treatment, the presence of complications and functional disturbances, as well as age, sex, profession, length of service) on the process of occupational readaptation, and also on the conclusions of expert comissions for evaluation of working ability were determined with the method of correlation analysis. These findings permit to evaluate the role of each factor, the degree of its stability and the character of its influence. The decisive factors, which determine occupational readaptation of patients with rectal cancer after radical treatment, are: sex, age, profession educational level, severity of functional disturbances. The influence of stage of disease (if radical operation is possible) on the success of occupational rehabilitation of patients with rectal cancer is not considered significant.
