Adjuvant radiation therapy of patients with rectal cancer.

Abstract:

:The standard in rectal cancer has been to add adjuvant radiation therapy to surgery in patients with stage II and III disease. Total mesorectal excision has led to lower local recurrence rates, and, if properly performed, may make adjuvant radiation unnecessary for certain stage II and III patients, such as T3 N0 patients with proximal lesions. There is also debate about the best method of delivering adjuvant radiotherapy. Preoperative radiotherapy at low dose per fraction with concurrent chemotherapy offers the advantages of maximizing sphincter preservation and greater tolerability. However, this will occasionally result in treating patients who are overstaged by ultrasound and may lead to greater postoperative morbidity and mortality than postoperative radiation. Preoperative radiotherapy has stronger data to support a survival advantage when added to surgery than postoperative radiation. Two randomized, phase III European studies may answer the question of which radiation technique is best for the near future. Protracted venous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is the standard method of radiosensitization. However, studies are ongoing using concurrent oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and oral 5-FU prodrugs. For now, we recommend that stage II and III rectal cancer patients receive protracted venous infusion 5-FU concurrent with preoperative radiation.
