[Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy of resectable cancer recti of distal localization]
Abstract:
The method of combined neoadjuvant treatment of resectable cancer recti, consisting of preoperative radiaton therapy, using big-fractionized intensive irradiation on the endolymphatic chemotherapy background together with fluorouracil with following surgical intervention (main group), in terms up to 72 h, was elaborated in the clinic. The patients, to whom the chemotherapy and radiation therapy were conducted, were included into control groups. Postoperative complications have had occurred in 8 (12.5%) patients of the main group and in 10 (15.87%) and 13 (14.29%)--in control groups. The five-year survival indices in the main group have constituted (73.5 +/- 6.3)%, and in control groups--(64.6 +/- 5.8) and (64.4 +/- 6.8)%. The local recurrence rate in the main group have constituted (6.2 +/- 3.0)%, and of the remote metastatizing--(15.6 +/- 4.5)%.
