Abstract

Abstract:

Neoadjuvant chemoradiation combined with radical surgery has been established as the standard care for locally advanced rectal cancer after the randomized phase III clinical trial CAO/ARO/AIO-94 in 2004. This paper reviewed advances in chemotherapy combined with radiation, neoadjuvant chemotherapy before chemoradiaiton, prolonging the interval between chemoradiaiton and surgery, organ preservation after chemoradiaiton and adaptability of Chinese patients which have all contributed to improvements of efficacy of chemoradiaiton and individualized treatment.

Key words: Rectal neoplasms, Therapy, Advances
