Abstract:
223 rectal carcinoma patients were treated between 1965 and 1985 at the Department of Surgery of the Academy of Medicine at Wrocław in Poland. Radical surgery was performed in 136 patients and a palliative method of 72 patients. Among the 136 radically treated patients, the five-year survival rate was 46.3% and the 10-15 year survival rate 14.7%. Of the 72 patients subjected to palliative surgery, only three survived for five years.
