| Popis: | Electrocoagulation and cryosurgery are discussed as alternatives to surgery in patients who are too infirm to safely undergo excision of the rectum, who refuse to undergo an operation that will result in a colostomy stoma, or who need resection and colostomy to achieve removal of the primary tumor but already have distant metasatatic disease. |
