title: [Future trends in increasing the efficacy of surgical and combination treatment of cancer of the rectum].
abstract: The analysis of the results of surgical and combined treatment of 2785 patients with rectal cancer was carried out. Radical operative interventions were performed in 2226 (80%) patients. The postoperative lethality was 8%. Before the operation, the intensive irradiation was performed in 959 patients. The five-year survival of patients in stage I cancer was 97.6%, in stage IV--22.7%, the duration of life--117.8 and 37.1 mos., respectively. The use of preoperative irradiation reduces the incidence of cancer recurrences 1.5-2 fold.
