  • Title: Saving the sphincter in rectal cancer: are we prepared to change practice?
    Author: Wallace MH, Glynne-Jones R.
    Journal: Colorectal Dis; 2007 May; 9(4):302-8; discussion 308-9. PubMed ID: 17432980.
    Abstract:
    Total mesorectal excision and preoperative radiation with or without chemotherapy has led to a reduction in local recurrence rates in patients with rectal cancer. This article examines the effect such treatment has on the rate of sphincter preservation in patients with rectal cancers close to the anal sphincter mechanism and looks at the evidence for changing clinical practice.
