- Target Recruitment
- 39
Pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of rectum
- Lower margin of tumor within 12 cm from anal verge
- Clinically locally advanced (T3-4 or N1-2) disease
- Potentially resectable and synchronous distant metastases in liver and/or lung
The resectability of metastatic lesions is determined by size, number, location, general condition, liver function, and lung funcion.

- ECOG 0-2
- Proper organ function (Hemoglobin = 10 g/dl, ANC = 1,500/mm3, Platent = 100,000/mm3, Creatinine = 1.5 mg/dl, Clearance of creatinine >50 ml/min using Cockcroft-Gault formula, Bilirubin = 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), Liver enzyme (AST/ALT/ALP) = 2.5 x ULN)
- Subject who should sign on the informed consent form before participate the trial.
- Metastases in other organ except liver or lung
- History of other type of malignancies within 3 years other than non-melanoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of cervix
