Abstract

Different methods of antitumor therapy was conducted in 168 patients with primary inoperable ampulla recti cancer to convert into operable form. Operability was achieved in 31.3% of cases after conduction of the joint irradiation therapy (JIT) course, in 48.4%--after the intensive-splitted irradiation course (ISIC), in 63.5%--after its combination with endolymphatic chemotherapy (ELCT) using fluorouracyl. After the ISIC JIT conduction the five-year survival index (40%) was twice as much as in the others in 180 patients with locally spread tumor treated nonsurgically. The combined palliative application of several antitumor therapies makes worse the long-term results of patients treatment.
