Objective: To compare acute adverse events (AE) and postoperative complication rates in a randomized trial of short-course (SC) versus long-course (LC) preoperative radiotherapy.Background: Evidence demonstrates that adding neoadjuvant radiotherapy to surgery offers better local control in the management of rectal cancer. With both SC and LC therapy there is a potential for acute treatment-related toxicity and increased patient morbidity.Methods: Eligible patients had clinical-stage T3 rectal adenocarcinoma within 12 cm of the anal verge with no evidence of metastasis. SC consisted of pelvic radiotherapy 5 x 5 Gy in 1 week, early surgery and 6 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy. LC was 50.4 Gy administered in 28 fractions during 5.5 weeks, with infusion 5-fluorouracil, surgery in 4 to 6 weeks, and 4 courses of chemotherapy.Results: All SC patients and 93% of LC patients received preoperative planned radiotherapy. Therewas no 30-day operative mortality. A statistically significant higher percentage of at least 1 AE occurred in the LC group (SC, 72.3%; LC, 99.4%; P
