title: [Treatment results in locally disseminated rectal cancer (based on data from the Armenian SSR)].
abstract: Data on rectal cancer morbidity in the Armenian SSR for the last two decades are presented and the causes of high-frequency incidence of advanced tumors are analysed. The results of combined and complex treatment using different preoperative procedures are discussed. High effectiveness of preoperative medium- and large-fractionated irradiation was shown, particularly, in application of cell cycle synchronizing effect of 5-fluorouracil treatment.
