Abstract:
Radiotherapy has an role in combined treatment to lower local recurrence in resectable rectal cancer. Radiotherapy also has an established role in nonresectable rectal cancers to increase the operability, but radiochemotherapy is more efficient. Radiotherapy can be administered as a transcutaneous therapy on the megavoltage machines as well as brachytherapy and combined--transcutaneous and brachytherapy.
