[Carcinoma of the rectum. Natural history and adjuvant radiotherapy. Analysis of 2 series of case reports].
Records of 135 patients with rectal carcinoma were reviewed and correlations between survival rate, extent of tumor and radiotherapy were investigated. The survival rate at 5 years was 16% for C Astler-Coller's stage patients and without metastases, but the prognosis was much less favorable for advanced tumors and/or subjects with distant metastases. Preliminary results of another series of patients treated with adjuvant radiotherapy are discussed.
