Abstract:
The results of the pilot study carried out in 1985 are described. The group with high risk of recurrence is clearly distinguishable by means of prognostic factors. The adjuvant postoperative supervoltage therapy on the former rectum lodge (2 x 5.0 Gy per week up to a total dose of 45.0 Gy) failed to increase the survival rate. The tendency towards reduction of the recurrence rate, 56% vs. 70%, was levelled by post-radiogenic side effects.
