| Popis: | Locally recurrent rectal tumours in the pelvis are found in about 6 % following treatment for rectal cancer. This type of tumour can cause serious local complications and symptoms. The aim of modern surgical oncology is to offer a curative treatment option embedded in an interdisciplinary network of specialities to the patient. Due to advancements in surgical techniques and procedures, especially regarding surgical reconstruction, the possibilities of a curative treatment regarding recurrent cancers have been expanded and established. To aim for a curative treatment one must introduce a multimodal therapy including radio- and chemotherapy, and a radical oncological surgery with en bloc resection of the tumour and affected surrounding organs to achieve a R0-resection. |
