[Endocavitary radiotherapy of distal rectal tumors].
We describe our experience of endocavitary radiotherapy of adenomas and carcinomas of the lower rectum. The method is an alternative for patients who cannot undergo standard surgical procedure or do not want a permanent colostomy. The method is cheap, fast and causes little discomfort to the patients, gives reasonable long-term results and has low morbidity.
