Pathological response to neoadjuvant treatment

correlated with long-term outcomes.

Distant metastases and local recurrences also

correlated with the level of response.

Methods

Inclusion: Rectal adenocarcinoma

No previous treament

No metastatic disease

Amenable to sphincter-preserving TME

Distal edge of tumor: 5-12cm

Exclusion: T4

Clinical obstruction

≥ 4 pelvic LNs (>2cm) on MRI/ERUS

Tx for another primary cancer within 5 years

Thrombotic episode within 6 months

Work-up:• Rigid proctoscopy

• ERUS & Pelvis MRI (for LN)

• Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis CT (for M1)

• ECOG: 0-2

• ANC > 1500/uL,

• PLT > 100K/uL

• CCr > 30 mL/min

• T-bil < 2X UNL

• ALT/ALP < 3X UNL

cT3N(+), cT3N(-): N(-): NO perirectal LN > 5mm

N(+): ≥ 1 perirectal LN > 5mm

Results

Enrollement: 32 patients (2007/03 - 2009/10)

Median follow-up time: 54 months (26-81m)

Median age: 52y (26-81y)

Women: 53% (17 of 32)

LN(+): 72% (23 of 32)

Results

T3N(+) 63% (20 of 32)

T2N(+) 9% (3 of 32)

Could low recurrence rate be

attributed to other factors ?

Rectal tumor: 5-12cm from AV

Bevacizumab: negative results in adjuvant setting

LNs: 72% of participants had nodal involvement

Limitationsmall number of participants

single center

ConclusionFor selected clinical stages II to III rectal

cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy

(without routine use of radiation) does

NOT compromise outcomes.
