This book analyzes all aspects of modern multimodal treatment of
locally recurrent rectal cancer in the pelvis in order to offer a
panoramic overview of the different therapeutic options and enable
the reader to balance their benefits and drawbacks. Indications for
surgery and the surgical techniques themselves, including
reconstruction techniques after major exenterative surgery, are
clearly described and evaluated. The role of new imaging tools,
such as MRI and PET-CT, in staging recurrences and guiding therapy
is assessed and detailed consideration is given to the use of
neoadjuvant and iterative radiotherapy and the indications for
systemic chemotherapy. Morbidity, mortality, oncologic outcomes,
and quality of life issues are carefully analyzed and options for
pain control and palliation are examined. Finally, a national
survey is presented on the state of the art in the surgical
treatment of locally recurrent rectal cancer in Italy. While there
has been a dramatic fall in the incidence of local pelvic
recurrences, their treatment remains a major clinical challenge
which requires a multidisciplinary approach and careful selection
of the most appropriate strategy in each case. This book will aid
practitioners in making the correct decisions in individual
patients.
