Preoperative irradiation was given to 58 selected patients with adenocarcinoma of the rectum to decrease local recurrence and to improve survival. The irradiation was well tolerated without increasing operative complications. At a median follow-up of 25 months, the local failure rate appeared to be improved. Evaluation of increased length of survival will require longer follow-up. Results suggest that preoperative irradiation can safely decrease local recurrence of rectal carcinoma in patients believed to be at higher risk for local recurrence.
对58例经挑选的直肠癌腺癌患者进行术前放疗，以降低局部复发率并提高生存率。放疗耐受性良好，未增加手术并发症。中位随访25个月时，局部失败率似乎有所改善。评估生存期延长情况需要更长时间的随访。结果表明，术前放疗可安全降低被认为局部复发风险较高的直肠癌患者的局部复发率。
