title: [Combination treatment of rectal cancer using preoperative combination radiotherapy].
abstract: The paper is concerned with analysis of the results of therapy of 122 rectal cancer patients divided into 2 groups by sex, age, tumor site, type of anatomical tumor growth, and stage of disease: I (72 patients)--combined therapy including preoperative radiotherapy and operation; II (50 patients)--surgery alone. Indications for combined therapy with preoperative irradiation were worked out. The results of histological investigation showed that this method brought about deep radiation injuries of tumors with minimum damage of the adjacent normal tissues. A conclusion was made that combined therapy including preoperative irradiation decreased the number of recurrences and metastases and increased (in combination with surgical intervention) the 5-year survival rate up to 79.6%.
