title: [Treatment of carcinoma of the rectum (author's transl)].
abstract: 620 patients with carcinoma of the rectum treated in the years 1944 to 1966 are compared with 301 patients treated in the years 1967 to 1978. There was an increase of the operations alltogether and of the curative operations in particular. In the same space of time the mortality was reduced remarkably. The 5-year-survival time after resections was 38%, after abdomino perineal excision 48%.
