Abstract
U) and mitomycin C as radiosensitizers plus surgery. As a result of complete responses at the time of surgery of all these patients, 15 additional patients have been treated by definitive radiotherapy combined with 5-FU and mitomycin C, thereby avoiding abdominoperineal resection. Eighteen patients had local control, and the one treatment failure is discussed. The method of treatment is described, and recommendations are made concerning techniques to be used or to be avoided.
