Inclusion Criteria

  • Medial-distal Rectal Adenocarcinoma (up to 12 cm from the anal margin) histologically documented, stage T3c-dN1-2M0, MRF+, T4N0-2MO (potentially resectable), EMVI -/+
  • Absence of clinically significant cardiopathy
  • Absence of pregnancy or ongoing breast-feeding
  • Written informed consent
  • ECOG PS 0-1
  • Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1
  • Able to comprehend risks and advantages of the study
  • Neutrophils ≥ 1.5x10^3/μL; Platelets ≥ 100x10^3/μL; Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 (UNL); ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 UNL, Alkaline Phosphatase ≤ 2.5 UNL; Creatinine clearance >50 ml/min or Creatinine ≤ 1.5 UNL; Proteinuria (stick) <2+ (se ≥ 2+, perform a 24h urine collection and verify that the value is ≤1 g/24 hr).
  • Absence of mutational state with complete deficit of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) enzyme; presence of mutations associed with partial DPD deficit does not exclude patient eligibility (Fluoropyrimidine dose reduction is expected)

  • Absence of other malignancies within the last 5 years, except for skin carcinoma and carcinoma in situ of the cervix.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Previous radiotherapy on the pelvis
  • Clinically significant (active) cardiovascular disease, eg. cerebrovascular events (≤6 months), myocardial infarction (≤6 months), unstable angina, congestive decompensation of grade II or higher according to New York Heart Association (NYHA), cardiac arrhythmia under therapy.
  • Presence of genotypes associated with complete DPD enzyme deficiency
  • Gastrointestinal disorders with malabsorption syndrome, inability to take drugs through oral administration
