Brief description/objective

Primary objective of the LARS study is to obtain the LARS score before surgical rectal cancer treatment, after neoadjuvant therapy and during the standard follow-up after surgery. This study mainly serves to obtain statistical data for the incidence of LARS. No formal hypothesis has been set forth. Secondary objective is to find correlations between pre- and postoperative LARS score and a list for common risk factors during rectal cancer treatment.
