In reviewing the results achieved with local treatment of carcinoma of the rectum, it becomes apparent that no single approach to the treatment of carcinoma of the rectum is optimal for all patients. As is true in patients with carcinoma of the breast and other malignant lesions, selection of the appropriate treatment alternatives for a patient with carcinoma confined to the distal rectum requires accurate preoperative staging of the disease. Physicians interested in treating patients with carcinoma of the rectum should have the full spectrum of treatment alternatives available.
在回顾直肠癌局部治疗所取得的结果时，显而易见的是，没有一种单一的直肠癌治疗方法对所有患者都是最佳的。正如乳腺癌和其他恶性病变患者一样，对于局限于直肠远端的癌患者，选择合适的治疗方案需要对疾病进行准确的术前分期。对治疗直肠癌患者感兴趣的医生应具备所有可用的治疗方案。
