| Core Tip |
The rate of R1 in patients with low rectal cancer is substantial, especially when sphincter preservation is desired. Many people refuse to remove the anal sphincter. Thus, further extended resection can’t be performed. In addition, postoperative chemoradiotherapy, which is the second choice to compensate for R1, has disappointing outcomes and numerous drawbacks. Because of the many advantages and few side effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT), this approach is increasing in frequency. This case report describes PDT as a salvage therapy for R1 in a patient with low rectal cancer after ultra low anterior resection; sphincter preservation was achieved, and no recurrence was observed after 5 years. |
