研究概览
简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine whether greater rectal cancer downstaging and regression occurs when surgery is delayed to 12 weeks after completion of radiotherapy/chemotherapy compared to 6 weeks.
Hypothesis: Greater downstaging and tumour regression is observed when surgery is delayed to 12 weeks after completion of CRT compared to 6 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
The primary endpoint will be the difference in the proportion of patients in each arm, downstaged according to T stage [on MRI].
时间窗: 6-12 weeks
次要结局
- Tumour response using SUV measurements [PET/CT], N downstaging and Tumour Regression Grade downstaging [on MRI].(3 months)
- Difference in proportion of patients in each arm undergoing sphincter saving surgery.(3 months)
- Morbidity, 30 day mortality and CRM (circumferential resection margin) positivity.(3 months)
- An analysis will also be undertaken using multivariate and linear regression analysis to evaluate the association of ypT and ypN stage as a potential independent predictors of SUV (max) baseline and after radiotherapy (pre-surgery) in the two arms.(3 months)
- Local and distant recurrence rates.(5 years)
- Radiotherapy related toxicity rates.(5 years)
