Scientific title | Pathology-guided treatment of rectal cancer: a randomised controlled trial |
Study objectives | In inoperable rectal cancer: are local recurrence-free survival rates and quality of life optimised by giving all patients short course pre-operative radiotherapy, or is it a preferable option to give post-operative chemoradiotherapy only to those at high risk of recurrence (i.e. with involved margins following surgery)? |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Rectal cancer |
Intervention | 1. One group receives a short course pre-operative radiotherapy followed by surgery 2. The other group receives surgery followed by postoperative chemo-radiotherapy |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | Local recurrence (as defined using an algorithm designed for the trial). |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Local recurrence-free survival 2. Overall survival 3. Time to appearance of distant metastases 4. Disease-free survival 5. Morbidity 6. Quality of life 7. Economic implications |
