Local Recurrence of Rectal Cancer
Year: 1989
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: One hundred twenty-six rectal cancers were operated upon in the First Department of Surgery, Nagasaki University School of Medicine. Local recurrence occurred in thirty-three (26.2%). In this study, contributing factors in causing local recurrence were local excision of the surgical approach, advanced stage, depth of cancer invasion, location of carcinoma of the rectum below the peritoneal reflection (Rb) or above (Rba) and nodal involvement of n2 or more. As far as advanced rectal cancer and cancer location of Rb are concerned, it is suggested on the basis of this study that the incidence of local recurrence should be high.
