title: [Importance of preoperative radiotherapy in the comprehensive treatment of malignant tumors of the rectum].
abstract: The authors evaluate the contribution of preoperative adjuvant radiotherapy in the comprehensive treatment of patients with a malignant tumour of the rectum and rectosigmoid. The five-year follow up of 159 patients subjected to radical surgery revealed statistically significant differences of the three-year survival of patients treated by a combination of surgery and rapid preoperative irradiation. However, radiotherapy did not affect the five-year survival of patients treated on account of a rectal tumour.
