Abstract:
The local recurrence rote is high after operation without chemotherapy or radiotherapy for lo-cally advanced rectal cancer. Recent random-control clinical phase Ⅲ studies suggest that the neoadjuvant ther-apy for locally advanced rectal cancer can improve local control rate obviously and ameliorate survival rate for pathologically complete response patients. In Europe and America, the neoadjuvant therapy has been regarded as the standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer. However the choice of chemotherapy agents, the application of hyperthermia and so on will be still requested further clinical trails.
