title: [Recurrence and survival rate after surgical therapy of rectal carcinoma].
abstract: Between 1983 and 1993, 680 patients with rectal carcinoma were treated at Ulm University. The resection rate was 84%. After undergoing radical surgery, 492 of the patients were followed up regularly at our hospital for a median of 66.9 months (range 4-177.6). Recurrences occurred in 172 patients (35%) and were diagnosed a median of 13 months (range 4-106 months) postoperatively; 9.4% had regional recurrences, 10.4% regional recurrences and distant metastases and 10.2% distant metastases. The 10-year survival rate of the patients in tumour stages I, II and III was 88%, 62%, and 32%. In patients with carcinoma of the midrectum, after anterior resection or abdominoperineal amputation the same local recurrence rate was found.
