[Electrocoagulation as radical treatment of anorectal cancer].
During a 17 year period, 19 patients with ano-rectal cancers were treated radically by electrocoagulation. Ten patients (52%) were treated successfully with electrocoagulation as the only treatment. The method is recommended as an alternative to radical surgery in carefully selected patients. The patients should be followed up at regular intervals. No serious complications occurred.
