Abstract EN
This study aimed to investigate local control and survival rates following abdominoperineal resection (APR) compared with low anterior resection (LAR) in lower and middle rectal cancer.
Methods : in this retrospective study, 153 patients with newly histologically proven rectal adenocarcinoma located at low and middle third that were treated between 2004 and 2010 at a tertiary hospital.
The tumors were pathologically staged according to the 7th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system.
Surgery was applied for 138 (90 %) of the patients, of which 96 (70 %) underwent LAR and 42 were (30 %) treated with APR.
Total mesorectal excision was performed for all patients.
In addition, 125 patients (82 %) received concurrent (neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative) pelvic chemoradiation, and 134 patients (88 %) received neoadjuvant, adjuvant or concurrent chemotherapy.
Patients’ follow-up ranged from 4 to 156 (median 37) months.
Results : of 153 patients, 89 were men and 64 were women with a median age of 57 years.
One patient (0.7 %) was stage 0, 15 (9.8 %) stage I, 63 (41.2 %) stage II, 51 (33.3 %) stage III and 23, 15 % stage IV.
There was a significant difference between LAR and APR in terms of tumor distance from anal verge, disease stage and combined modality therapy used.
However, there was no significant difference regarding 5-year local control, disease free and overall survival rates between LAR and APR.
Conclusion : LAR can provide comparable local control, disease free and overall survival rates compared with APR in eligible patients with lower and middle rectal cancer.
