    Summary

    Pelvic exenteration offers a survival benefit for advanced rectal cancer patients without distant spread. This study reports 54% 3-year and 37% 5-year survival rates after the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Rectal Cancer Treatment

    Background:

    • Advanced rectal cancer poses significant treatment challenges.
    • Pelvic exenteration is a radical surgical option for locally advanced pelvic malignancies.
    • Identifying suitable candidates is crucial for optimizing outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of pelvic exenteration in patients with advanced rectal cancer.
    • To analyze survival rates following this extensive surgical procedure.
    • To discuss patient selection criteria and surgical techniques for urinary diversion.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of twelve patients with advanced rectal cancer.
    • All patients underwent pelvic exenteration.
    • Assessment of operative mortality and long-term survival rates.

    Main Results:

    • Operative mortality rate was 8.3%.
    • Determinate 3-year survival rate was 54%.
    • Determinate 5-year survival rate was 37%.

    Conclusions:

    • Pelvic exenteration can achieve significant survival rates in selected patients with advanced rectal cancer.
    • Careful patient selection is paramount for successful outcomes.
    • Supravesical urinary diversion techniques require specific consideration.
