Abstract
Upfront neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgery and
adjuvant chemotherapy remained a standard of care for loclly advanced rectal
cancers. However this strategy is associated with high rates of distant failure. Total
neoadjuvant therapy with short course radiation therapy (SCRT) followed by full
course of chemotherapy is investigated aiming for early treatment of
micrometastasis and reducing rates of distant failure without compromising local
control.
