Role of Postoperative Radiation Therapy in Rectal Cancer at Siriraj Hospital
Abstract
One hundred and eighty nine cases of rectal cancer at Siriraj Hospital, from January 1989-December 1994, including stage B, to distant metastatic stage were analysed retro-spectively for the role of radiation therapy. The ratio of postoperative irradiated cases to the total irradiated cases increased from 34.8 - 57% in eight years duration. This tended to gain benefit in local control compared to surgery alone as results from several reports. Factors of radiation technique such as energy, dose and beam portals were significant for controlling the treatment results and compli-cation rates as well.
