13 Purpose of Radio(chemo)therapy in Rectal Cancer To lower local failure rates and improve survival in resectable cancers to allow surgery in primarly inextirpable cancers to facilitate a sphincter-preserving procedure to cure patients without surgery: very small cancer or very high surgical risk

14 Rectal Cancer Surgery is the mainstay of treatment of RC After surgical resection, local failure is common Local recurrence after conventional surgery: 15%-45% (average of 28%) Radiotherapy significantly reduces the number of local recurrences

15 Radiotherapy in the management of RC In at least 28 randomised trials the value of either preoperative or postoperative RT has been tested Preoperative RT (30+Gy): 57% relative reduction of local failure Postoperative RT (35+Gy): 33% relative reduction Colorectal Cancer Collaborative Group. Lancet 2001;358:1291 Gamma C. JAMA 2000;284:1008

16 Adjuvant Therapy of Rectal Cancer 1990 US NIH Consensus Conference Postoperative chemoradiotherapy = standard of care for RC Stage II,II The consensus statement was based upon the results of three randomised trials

18 ESMO Recommendations Resectable cases Surgical procedure: TME Preoperative RT: recommended Postoperative chemoradiotherapy: T3,4 or N+ Non-resectable cases: local recurrences Preoperative RT with or without CT

19 Optimal combination of chemo- radiotherapy? If radiochemotherapy is used postoperatively, protacted infusion of 5-FU is superior to bolus 5-FU during radiotherapy O`Connell. NEJM 1994;331:331

22 Predicting risk of recurrence in RC Surgery-related -Low anterior resection -Excision of the mesorectum -Extend of lymphadenectomy -postoperative anastomotic leakage -Tumor perforation Tumor-related -Anatomic location -Histologic type -Tumor grade -Pathologic stage -radial resection margin -neural, venous, lymphatic invasion

24 Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) Local recurrence rates after surgical resection of RC have decreased from about 30% to < 10% 1. Radio(chemo)therapy 2. Importance of circumferential margin (TME)

25 Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) TME series with local recurrence rates of 5% Other series report recurrence rates of 5-15% Inclusion of patients with T1-2,No disease Experience of the surgeon is important Higher complication rates TME will not remove all tumor cells in the pelvis in all patients, RT may eradicate th remaining ones

27 Preoperative therapy for sphincter preservation Phase II data with no randomised trials Optimal regimen not known Long-term functional outcome? Five of seven trials report sphincter preservation in approximately 75%

28 Preoperative Therapy in locally advanced/non-resectable rectal cancer Favourable treatment results in phase II trials with preoperative radiochemotherapy Chemoradiotherapy was viewed as standard based on phase II data

29 Preoperative vs. Postoperative chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer Randomized trial of the German Rectal Cancer study Group: Sauer R et al. N Engl J Med 2004;351:1731-40 cT3 or cT4 or node-positive rectal cancer 50,4 Gy (1.8 Gy per day) 5-FU: 1000 mg/m 2 per day (d1-5) during 1. and 5. week

31 Capecitabine in combination with preoperative radiotherapy Phase I/II studies demonstrate that capecitabine is effective and well tolerated in combination with preoperative radiotherapy Capecitabine 825 mg/m 2 twice daily given continously with standard RT can be recommended Phase II trials are ongoing PETACC-6: capecitabine + RT vs. Capecitabine +Oxalipaltin +RT R.

33 Chemotherapy with preoperative radiotherapy in rectal cancer Adding fluorouracil-based chemotherapy to preoperative or postoperative RT has no significant influence on survival. Chemotherapy before or after surgery, confers a significant benefit with respect to local control. Bosset JF et al. N Engl J Med 2006;355:1114-1123
