- BACKGROUND: An audit of all patients with rectal cancer in Sweden was launched in 1995. This is the first report from the Swedish Rectal Cancer Registry (SRCR). METHODS: Between 1995 and 2003, 13 434 patients treated for adenocarcinoma of the rectum were registered with the SRCR; there were approximately 1500 new patients annually. RESULTS: Approximately half had an anterior resection, a quarter an abdominoperineal resection and 15 per cent a Hartmann's procedure. The median 30-day postoperative mortality rate was 2.4 per cent and the overall postoperative morbidity rate was 35.0 per cent. The 5-year cancer-specific survival rate was 62.3 per cent. The 5-year relative survival rate was 70.1 per cent after anterior resection, 59.8 per cent after abdominoperineal resection and 39.8 per cent after a Hartmann's procedure. The crude 5-year local recurrence rate was 9.5 per cent overall, 6.1 per cent after preoperative radiotherapy and 11.4 per cent after surgery alone. For 3868 patients who had a locally curative procedure the local recurrence rate was 7.4 per cent overall, 5.9 per cent for those who had radiotherapy and 10.2 per cent for those who did not. The local recurrence rate was 2.9 per cent (28 of 968) for stage I disease, 7.9 per cent (112 of 1418) for stage II, 13.9 per cent (188 of 1357) for stage III and 8.5 per cent (45 of 532) for stage IV. CONCLUSION: These good population-based results are due, in part, to the nationwide prospective quality assurance registration.

- ObjectiveTo determine whether an experienced ultrasound examiner, using good ultrasound equipment with high multifrequency probes, can discriminate between a high grade or low grade dysplastic adenoma (pT0) and very early invasive rectal cancers (pT1). Subjects and methodsSixty consecutive patients with clinically possibly pT0 or pT1 rectal tumours referred for transanal local excision underwent endorectal ultrasound examination. Lesions where the endorectal ultrasound image showed the mucosal layer to be expanded but the submucosal layer to be intact (uT0) were considered to represent a low grade or high grade dysplasia adenoma (pT0). An irregularity or disruption of the submucosal layer (uT1) was considered to characterize early invasive rectal cancers (pT1). The ultrasound staging was compared with the histological staging made on the basis of the diagnoses in the excised specimens. ResultsThe histopathological diagnoses were: invasive rectal cancer (n = 18, 10 pT1, 4 pT2, 4 pT3 cancers); high grade dysplastic adenoma (n = 21); low grade dysplastic adenoma (n = 18); non adenomatous benign lesions (n = 3). Endorectal ultrasound incorrectly classified two of the invasive cancers (both pT1 tumours) as noninvasive lesions. Five of 42 pT0 tumours were overstaged as uT1 tumours. Overstaging was more common in patients who had undergone a previous excision and in tumours with peritumoral inflammation and desmoplastic reaction. The sensitivity of endorectal ultrasound with regard to invasive cancer was 89% (16/18), specificity 88% (37/42), positive predictive value 76% (16/21), negative predictive value 95% (37/39), and accuracy 88% (53/60). Among pT0 and pT1 tumours, the corresponding figures were 80% (8/10), 88% (37/42), 62% (8/13), 95% (37/39), and 87% (45/52). ConclusionEndorectal ultrasound can distinguish between noninvasive lesions and invasive rectal cancers clinically of stage pT0 or pT1.
