Comparing outcomes after treatment of rectal cancer over a long-lasting follow-up between patients who were offered to surgery alone and to surgery with neoadjuvant therapy. A single center survey up to 240 months.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, these results showed comparable outcomes between both groups over such a long lasting follow-up. This time frame might be used more extensively for increasing our knowledge of RC biological behaviour as well. PMID: 29397634 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
