We examined the diagnosis and treatment of recurrent rectal cancer with particular regard to localized recurrence. Early diagnosis of localized recurrence is extremely important for the selection of therapeutic strategy. Among strategy options available are surgical treatment, including resection of all pelvic organs, but this should be performed with no decrease in the QOL of the patient.
