STUDY OF ANORECTAL PHYSIOLOGY PRE AND POS NEOADJUVANT THERAPY FOR RECTAL CANCER BY ANORECTAL MANOMETRY AND JORGE-WEXNER SCORE.

Background: The treatment of distal rectal cancer may be accompanied by evacuation disorders of multifactorial etiology. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) is part of the standard treatment for patients with locally advanced extraperitoneal rectal cancer. The assessment of anorectal function after long-term NCRT in patients with cancer of the extraperitoneal rectum has been poorly evaluated.
