Abstract
The issue of sphincter preservation when low rectal cancer (rectal adenocarcinoma 0–6 сm from marge anal) remains topical.
Objective: to increase the number of sphincter preservation operations in patients with low rectal cancer.
Materials and methods. We analyzed data on 110 patients with low rectal cancer randomized into 3 groups: in the 1st group surgery was performed following 0–3 days after the end of short-term radiotherapy (RT) 25 Gy. In the 2nd group the interval before surgery after the identical RT was 42 ± 3 days. In the 3rd group, in 2 cycles of capecitabine chemotherapy were performed starting on the 1st day of RT.
Results. pCR was observed obly in 2nd and 3rd group: in 16.6 % patients in the 2nd group, and 12.8 % in the study group. The sphincter preservation rate was 40.0 % in the 1st control group, 70.0 % in the 2nd group and 77.0 % in the 3rd group. The postoperative complications rate was 37.5 % in the 1st group, 26.6 % in the 2nd group and 17.9 % in the 3rd group.
Conclusions. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy may increase sphincter preservation rate without increase in the number of postoperative complications.
