Timing to achieve the highest rate of pCR after preoperative radiochemotherapy in rectal cancer: a pooled analysis of 3085 patients from 7 randomized trials

Maria Antonietta Gambacorta et al.

Summary: The optimal timing of surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer remains controversial. A study found that lengthening the surgical interval had a favorable impact on achieving a pathological complete response, with the best results seen at a 10-week interval.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the introduction of structured multidisciplinary response evaluation leads to a significant decrease in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer achieving complete response after nCRT, reducing the need for surgery and improving stoma-free survival rates.
