The management of synchronous prostate and rectal cancer is a challeging task for the general surgeons and urologists, due to the complex anatomy of the pelvis and the sequential significant effects on the patient's functional independency and quality of life. As both rectal and prostate cancers still remain leading causes of death in the male population, along with the increase of the average life expectancy, it is certain that synchronous prostate and rectal cancer will be a clinical scenario that the clinicians of the future will encounter more frequently. Our aim is to perform a comprehensive review on the management of this oncological entity, focusing on the significance of multidisciplinary approach which will enable the formation of an accurate strategy plan, having at all times the patient in the center of desicion-making.
对于普通外科医生和泌尿外科医生而言，同步性前列腺癌和直肠癌的管理是一项具有挑战性的任务，这是由于骨盆解剖结构复杂，且对患者的功能独立性和生活质量会产生一系列重大影响。由于直肠癌和前列腺癌仍然是男性人群的主要死因，随着平均预期寿命的增加，同步性前列腺癌和直肠癌必然会成为未来临床医生更频繁遇到的一种临床情况。我们的目的是对这一肿瘤实体的管理进行全面综述，重点关注多学科方法的重要性，这将有助于制定准确的战略计划，始终将患者置于决策的中心。
