Systemic Consolidation Treatment after (Chemo) #Radiotherapy in #RectalCancer Treatment by Mert Saynak in BJSTR

Abstract

Most people with locally advanced rectal cancer are treated with #chemotherapy (ChT), #radiotherapy (RT), and #surgery. With improved surgical techniques and the addition of #neoadjuvant RT ChT, 5-year local recurrence rates have decreased from >25% to <10% [1,2]. Regarding to local/regional disease site, quality of life is a new and increasingly important goal for rectal cancer treatment. However, these advances have not appreciably decreased the risk of distant #metastaticrecurrence (approximately 30%), which remains the leading cause of #rectalcancer-related death. That’s why, systemic treatment to control distant #microscopicdisease especially has become increasingly importance in recent years.
