Purpose: To evaluate preoperative infusional chemoradiation for patients with operable rectal cancer. Methods and Materials: Preoperative chemoradiation therapy using infusional Whtorouracil(5FU),(300 mg/m’/day) together with daily irradiation(45 Gyl25 fractions/5 weeks) was administered to 77 patients with clinically Stage T3 rectal cancer. Endoscopic ultrasound confirmed the digital rectal exam in 63 patients. Surgery was performed approximately 6 weeks after the completion of chemoradiation therapy and included 25 abdominoperineal resections and 52 anal-sphincter-preserving procedures. Results: Posttreatment tumor stages were Tl-2, NO in 35%, T3 NO in 25%, and Tl-3, Nl in 11%; 29% had no evidence of tumor. Local tumor control after chemoradiation was seen in 96%(74 out of 77); 2 patients had recurrent disease at the anastomosis site and were treated successfully with abdominoperineal resection. Overall, pelvic control was obtained in 99%(76 out of 77). The survival after chemoradiation was higher in patients without node involvement than in those having node involvement@= ns). More patients with pathologic complete responses or only microscopic foci survived than did patients who had gross residual tumor 0,= 0.07). The actuarial survival rate was 83% at 3 years; the median follow-up was 27 months, with a range of 3 to 68 months. Acute, perioperative, and late complications were not more numerous or more severe with chemoradiation therapy than with traditional radiation therapy (XRT) alone.Conclusions: Excellent treatment response allowed two-thirds of the patients to have an anal-sphinctersparing procedure. Gross residual disease in the resected specimen indicates a poor prognosis, and therapies specifically targeting these patients may improve survival further.
