Abstract
An aggressive surgical approach offers patients with pelvic recurrence from rectal and colon cancer the best potential for survival. The presence of hydronephrosis probably indicates a lower chance for complete surgical resection of the recurrence, but local control and improved survival may still be achieved, and about two thirds of patients may benefit from the operation.
