Abstract
Rectal cancer patients following complete clinical response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) can be followed up without surgery. Those patients in particular who needed abdominoperineal resection before CRT choose the follow-up protocol, should they be given the necessary information. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the long-term follow-up results of patients following neoadjuvant CRT without surgery.Entities:
