Conclusion
The 5-year results of this trial compared local excision with total mesorectal excision of low rectal cancer after downstaging by chemoradiotherapy (n=148 patients). Local recurrence rates were similar (both 7 per cent), as was survival: 84 per cent local excision versus 82 per cent total excision, P=0.88.
