title: [Treatment of local recurrence of rectal cancer].
abstract: The frequency of local recurrence after rectal cancer is expected to decline, as surgical techniques and preoperative radiochemotherapy continue to improve. The treatment of these difficult cases requires a variety of specialists (in urology, reconstructive surgery, radiotherapy and gynaecology). In Denmark the estimated number of patients requiring this complex kind of surgery will be 20-30 per year. One (maybe two) hospital department will be needed to treat these patients.
