Résumé
Primary carcinoma of the rectum accounts for approximately 40% of all colorectal carcinomas registered in France. The standardized incidence of rectal cancer is among the highest in the world at 17.2 per 100 000 males and 8.6 per 100 000 for women. The anatomical situation of cancer of the rectum presents two particular problems: locoregional recurrence and sphincter preservation. Specialized, multidisciplinary patient management is therefore essential. This document was validated in December 1998. An update is planned for the year 2001.
