title: [Results of combined treatment of patients with rectal cancer using a single preoperative radiotherapy dose of 7.5 Gy].
abstract: The results of 3-year combined and surgical treatment of 173 patients with rectal tumors are discussed. Single dose of 7.5 Gy was administered to 83 patients on the eve of radical surgery. Ninety patients in control received radical surgery alone. One-, two- and three-year radical cure rates in the study group were higher by 22.9, 21.2 and 29.3%, respectively, while 3-year recurrence-free survival in the same group was 2.7 times that in the surgical patients.
