Chemoradiotherapy Plus Induction or Consolidation Chemotherapy as Total Neoadjuvant Therapy for Patients With Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Long-term Results of the CAO/ARO/AIO-12 Randomized Clinical Trial

Emmanouil Fokas et al.

Summary: This study reported the long-term results of total neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced rectal cancer, showing that chemoradiotherapy followed by chemotherapy resulted in higher pathological complete response without compromising disease-free survival, toxicity, quality of life, or stool incontinence, and is proposed as the preferred sequence for total neoadjuvant therapy if organ preservation is a priority.

Early response to upfront neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CAPOX) alone in low- and intermediate-risk rectal cancer: a single-arm phase II trial

Xiangbing Deng et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in low- and intermediate-risk stage II/III rectal cancer and explore potential indicators for early prediction of tumor response. The results showed that neoadjuvant chemotherapy achieved good tumor response rates in patients with low- and intermediate-risk rectal cancer, and it is feasible to predict tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the early treatment phase.

Optimizing treatment sequencing of chemotherapy for patients with rectal cancer: The KIR randomized phase II trial

Aurelie Garant et al.

Summary: The study showed improved compliance to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Although there was no statistical difference in tumor regression, local recurrence, and disease free survival between the two arms, a trend towards favorable outcomes was observed.

Total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer: Making sense of the results from the RAPIDO and PRODIGE 23 trials

E. F. Giunta et al.

Summary: The results from two randomized phase III trials of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) in locally advanced rectal cancer consistently show better outcomes compared to standard neoadjuvant treatments, providing support for the use of TNT in clinical practice. However, significant differences between these trials present challenges for generalizability and practical recommendations, highlighting the need for further investigation and research.
