title = "Cause-specific colostomy rates after radiotherapy for anal cancer: a Danish multicentre cohort study",
abstract = "In anal cancer, colostomy-free survival is a measure of anal sphincter preservation after treatment with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Failure to control anal cancer and complications of treatment are alternative indications for colostomy. However, no data exist on cause-specific colostomy rates. We examined this in a cohort study.",
