  • Title: [Local excision of early stages of rectal cancer].

    Abstract:
    59 patients with rectal cancer were treated by local excision. In 17 of these patients a radical resection was performed afterwards. In one of 21 local excised "low risk" T1-carcinomas a recurrence was observed. Five of 11 local treated patients with "high risk" tumours developed a recurrence. In the group of the radically treated patients two recurrences were seen. Regarding our results the local excision of "low risk" T1-carcinomas seems to be justified, if final histological workup reveals an adequate margin of healthy tissue.
