Abstract:
Preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy NCR) combined with total mesorectal excision (TME) is the standard treatment mode for locally advanced rectal cancer.Compared with postoperative NCR,preoperative NCR increases the tumor down-staging,sphincter-preserving rate and local control rate.Patients who attain pathological complete response (pCR) after preoperative NCR have better prognosis compared with their counterparts.This article reviews the research progress on preoperative NCR in recent years.
