TL;DR
Outcome is improved with both colorectal surgical subspecialty training and a higher frequency ofrectal cancer surgery, and the surgical treatment of rectal cancer patients should rely exclusively on surgeons with such training or surgeons with more experience.
Abstract
Outcome is improved with both colorectal surgical subspecialty training and a higher frequency of rectal cancer surgery. Therefore, the surgical treatment of rectal cancer patients should rely exclusively on surgeons with such training or surgeons with more experience.

On this evidence, it is often safe to limit mural clearance and thus preserve the anal sphincters, provided that the mesorectum is excised intact with the cancer.

Results from TME alone are substantially superior to the best reported from conventional surgery plus radiotherapy or combination chemoradiotherapy: 5% local recurrence at 5 years compared with 25% and 13.5%, respectively; and 22% overall recurrence compared with 62.7% and 41.5, respectively.

Data do not support the hypothesis that pancreaticogastrostomy is safer than pancreaticojejunostomy or is associated with a lower incidence of pancreatic fistula, with the incidence most strongly associated with surgical volume and underlying disease.

From 1980 to 1987, 849 patients with clinically resectable rectal adenocarcinoma were randomized into a controlled clinical trial of radiation therapy before surgery versus surgery alone, and the incidence of pelvic recurrence among 679 curatively operated upon patients was significantly lower among those allocated to radiation therapy.

A review of histopathology reports on 2046 patients in the large bowel cancer project showed considerable observer variation in histological grading, and a minimal level of information should be recorded from a resection specimen.

These include those operations of the excision type in which the surgeon was of the opinion that growth had been left behind, mostly because of incomplete local excision or because of the presence of hepatic metastases.
CancerA multivariate analysis of pathologic prognostic indicators in large bowel cancer
209 Citations1988Theo Wiggers, Jan Willem Arends +3 more
A multivariate analysis of the pathologic data of 350 patients with primary colorectal cancer was performed and new variables such as the immunoreactivity patterns of carcinoembryonic antigen, CA 19‐9, mucin, serotonin, secretory component, and the DNA index appear to play a role in the establishment of a prognostic index.

187 Citations1993Min Sung Chung, Oren K. Steinmetz +1 more
The hypothesis that perioperative blood transfusion is associated with an increased risk of recurrence of colorectal carcinoma and death from this malignancy is supported.

183 Citations1986H R Matthews, D J Powell +1 more
It is suggested that oesophageal resection for carcinoma should be performed only where there is an acceptably low operative mortality rate.

142 Citations1984Nicholas S. G. Williams, David A. Johnston
It is suggested that patients with carcinoma of the middle third of the rectum who are treated by SSR will fare as well as patients who are treating by APER, with respect both to recurrence and to survival.

The results confirm the success of sphincter‐saving anterior resection combined with total mesorectal excision, routine full mobilization of the splenic flexure and cancercidal lavage of the distal rectum in the treatment of low rectal carcinomas; morbidity, local recurrence and survival are not compromised.

In a randomized controlled trial of 849 patients, the value of preoperative radiotherapy in those with operable rectal adenocarcinoma was examined and it was found that an earlier and more aggressive surgical approach might improve survival.

73 Citations1991S Stipa, Virgilio Nicolanti +7 more
The results suggest that local recurrent colorectal carcinoma remain a difficult treatment problem and more effective combinations of surgery and adjuvant therapy are therefore mandatory to reduce the incidence of local failure in high risk coloreCTal patients.

69 Citations1991A. Amato, Mario Pescatori +1 more
AR is unlikely to be followed by an increased risk of local recurrence and, therefore, when oncologically indicated, may be considered the operation of choice in the treatment of rectal cancer, although the possible risk of its overuse should be taken into account.

This early experience indicates that the high dose preoperative radiation can minimize local recurrence in unfavorable cancers and allows sphincter saving surgery to be performed with small, safe margins in the lower rectal cancers.
