Trial of Using SIB-IMRT in Preoperative Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Rectum Cancer

Phase 2

• Conditions: Rectal Cancer

• Registration Number: NCT02195141
• Lead Sponsor: Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences

Brief Summary

Pathological complete response, (pCR) correlates with a favorable overall prognosis in locally advanced rectal cancer patients underwent preoperative chemoradiation, so obtaining a pCR might be beneficial. The aim of the study is to investigate safety and efficacy of preoperative SIB-IMRT(56Gy) combine with capecitabine. primary endpoint is pathological complete remission rate.
