简要总结
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend trimodality treatment for patients with middle and low LARC with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NA-CRT), surgical resection with TME, plus additional chemotherapy (CT), in the adjuvant setting. This has markedly reduced pelvic local recurrence from historically about 25% to about 5-10%. However, the 5-year distant relapse is approximately 30% and continues to be the major cause of rectal cancer death.
One strategy to address this issue is to deliver induction chemotherapy before surgery. Induction chemotherapy may be associated with better treatment compliance and may enable full systemic doses of chemotherapy to be delivered.
The above cited considerations, plus favorable data from preliminary reports exploring this strategy, provides a solid rationale for shifting systemic treatment earlier into the treatment paradigm. The current study will evaluate the efficacy and the safety of total neoadjuvant therapy with standard neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer patients as regards effects on tumor downstaging, pathological complete response, surgical difficulty and early functional outcome.
详细描述
Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the USA.
Surgery using the total mesorectal excision (TME) remains the cornerstone of curative therapy for patients with nonmetastatic, locally advanced middle and low rectal cancer (LARC).
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend trimodality treatment for patients with middle and low LARC with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NA-CRT), surgical resection with TME, plus additional chemotherapy (CT), in the adjuvant setting.
This has markedly reduced pelvic local recurrence from historically about 25% to about 5-10%. However, the 5-year distant relapse is approximately 30% and continues to be the major cause of rectal cancer death.
Several other trials have attempted to demonstrate the benefits of postoperative chemotherapy as an adjunct to preoperative radiation and surgery. These trials either failed to demonstrate an advantage, or were closed early due to poor accrual. One common theme among these trials is poor compliance with adjuvant chemotherapy. Completion rates for planned chemotherapy ranged from 43 to 74% in these trials.

研究组 & 干预措施
total neoadjuvant therapy
patients will be treated by total neoadjuvant therapy, including concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the form of radiotherapy 45 Gy/ 25 fractions then boost 5.4 Gy/3 fractions with concurrent bolus 5-fluorouracil + Calcium leucoverin for first 4 days and last 3 days of radiotherapy or capecitabine at 825 mg\m2 twice daily. Then, after 2-3 weeks preoperative chemotherapy will be started in the form of 6 cycles of FOLFOX or CAPOX. Then, after 3-4 weeks surgery will be done.
干预措施: Radiotherapy (Radiation)

结局指标
主要结局
pathological assessment of response to treatment
时间窗: 10 days
The histological sections will be reviewed by the same pathologists and the regression grade will be quantified according to Mandard tumor regression grade with sore 1 representing complete response with no viable tumor cells to score 5 representing no regression.
