Chemotherapy with preoperative radiotherapy in rectal cancer

TL;DR: In patients with rectal cancer who receive preoperative radiotherapy, adding fluorouracil-based chemotherapy preoperatively or postoperatively has no significant effect on survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced Tumorocidal Effect of Chemotherapy With Preoperative Radiotherapy for Rectal Cancer: Preliminary Results—EORTC 22921

TL;DR: In patients with rectal cancer, preliminary results of EORTC Trial 22921 indicate that the addition of CT to preop RT induces down-sizing, downstaging, and significant changes in histologic characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patients With Curative Resection of cT3-4 Rectal Cancer After Preoperative Radiotherapy or Radiochemotherapy: Does Anybody Benefit From Adjuvant Fluorouracil-Based Chemotherapy? A Trial of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Radiation Oncology Group

TL;DR: Exploratory analyses suggest that only good-prognosis patients (ypT0-2) benefit from adjuvant CT, and suggests that the same prognostic factors may drive both tumor sensitivity for the primary treatment and long-term clinical benefit from further adjUvant CT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative chemoradiotherapy versus preoperative radiotherapy in rectal cancer patients: assessment of acute toxicity and treatment compliance. Report of the 22921 randomised trial conducted by the EORTC Radiotherapy Group.

TL;DR: At the doses recommended in the protocol, the addition of 5-FU-LV to preoperative XRT slightly increased the amount of acute toxicity, however, the compliance with the radiation protocol or the feasibility of surgery did not decrease.
