From June 1976 to December 1989, 76 patients with cancer of the rectum of Duke's stage C2 disease were cured treated by surgical resection . 54 patients received surgery only, 22 patients received surgery in combination with postoperative radiation therapy. Follow-up rate was 98%. Radiotherapy regimen in this study was 40～50 Gy in 4～5 weeks to the pelvic.
