Abstract    Based on several prospective clinical trials on reducing local recurrence of middle and lower rectal cancer, the NSABP and NCCN proposed the guideline on diagnosis and treatment on locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). Focusing on follow-up, giving priority to prevention, recommending precise and optimized diagnosis methods, and cooperating with the multidisciplinary team should contribute to the progress and standardization in the diagnosis and treatment for LRRC.
