Abstract
Background: With the advent of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT), the treatment lanscape for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) has changed dramatically. We conduct this research to examine the real-world efficacy and safety profile of preoperative chemoradiation as a part of TNT for LARC at Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital.
Methods: Interventional study on stage II - III rectal cancer patients admitted to Radiation Department of General cancer in Ho Chi Minh City oncology hospital from 1/6/2023 to 1/6/2024.
Results: From 1/6/2023 to 30/4/2024, 53 patients met the studied criteria. Median age was 58, most patients were male 62.3% and had ECOG = 0 (98.1%). Middle and low rectal cancer are the most prominent (81.1%) and 92.5% patients are at stage III according to AJCC 8th. Pelvic MRI shows that the rate of MRF (+) and EMVI (+) are 37.7% and 24.5% respectively. Only 4 patients (7.5%) progressed after preoperative chemoradiation, the rate of stable disease and partial response are 22.6% and 69.8%. Furthermore, downstaging in clinical AJCC diagnosis, clinical T, clinical N are 81.1%, 47.2% and 53.6%, respectively. All adverse events were grade 1, including abdominal/rectal pain (20.7%), diarrhoea (15.1%), fatigue (7.54%), transaminitis (3.6%), rectal bleeding (1.8%).
Conclusions: Preoperative chemoradiation is still a cornerstone of treating locally advanced rectal cancer with good disease control rate and tolerability.
