Resumen

GALANO URGELLES, Rolando; RODRIGUEZ FERNANDEZ, Zenén  y  CASAUS PRIETO, Arbelio. Cáncer de recto: Seguimiento posoperatorio. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 1997, vol.36, n.1, pp. 64-69. ISSN 1561-2945.

A study of 31 patients operated on for rectal neoplasms between September, 1989 and September, 1995 in Santiago de Cuba was performed. Patients were followed-up during this period for the purpose of the study. There was a frank predominance of males and ages between 45 and 64, of the stage II and the groups BI and BII according to Dukes' classifiction. Most patients received 5-fluoracil, without tumor relapses. The current survival rate of the series was 76 % at the end of the investigation. It is recommended that all patients operated on for this segment be followed-up after the operation; to continue with cytostatic treatment using 5-fluoracil, and to emphasize the importance of the use of tumor markers during the follow-up, in addition to transrectal ultrasound, as well as to make an early diagnosis through mass screeening methods
