Surgical Clinics of North America, 1988
Limited surgical techniques have gained an important role among treatment modalities for invasive carcinoma of the rectum.

Local excision of rectal carcinoma

The American Journal of Surgery, 1990
Sixteen published series were reviewed in which local excision was used as definitive treatment for patients with invasive rectal carcinoma located within 6 cm of the anal verge. Ninety-four percent of tumors were T1 or T2 adenocarcinomas with no identified regional metastases. Five-year cancer-specific survival was 89%.

Local Excision: Some Reality Testing

Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 2005
The role of local therapy for management of rectal cancer has been debated for decades, but its use is generally limited to unusual circumstances and ‘‘early-stage’’ disease. If technically feasible, local therapy may be an appropriate treatment for medically infirm patients with rectal cancer who would not tolerate radical resection or palliation of ...

Clinical Oncology, 2023
Local excision is an established treatment for significant benign rectal tumours and early-stage cancers. It provides cure for most patients with pT1 disease, with minimum impact on quality of life. It is particularly suitable for elderly or comorbid patients. Local excision is associated with a risk of local recurrence, and this may vary from 5 to 30%,
