Mature data on tumor control and survival are presented from a randomized trial of the addition of a brachytherapy boost to long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiation (CRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer. Between March 2005 and November 2008, 248 patients withT3-4N0-2M0 rectal cancer were prospectively randomized to either long-course preoperative CRT (50.4Gy in 28 fractions, peroral UFT and L-leucovorin) alone or the same CRT schedule plus a brachytherapy boost (10Gy in 2 fractions). Primary trial endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR) at time of surgery; secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and freedom from locoregional failure. Results for the primary endpoint have previously been reported. This analysis presents survival data for the 224 patients in the Danish part of the trial. 221 patients (111 control arm, 110 brachytherapy boost arm) had data available for analysis, with a median follow-up of 5.4 years. Despite a significant increase in tumor response at the time of surgery, no differences in 5-year OS (70.6% vs 63.6%, HR=1.24, p=0.34) and PFS (63.9% vs 52.0%, HR=1.22, p=0.32) were observed. Freedom from locoregional failure at 5 years were 93.9% and 85.7% (HR=2.60, 1.00–6.73, p=0.06) in the standard and in the brachytherapy arm, respectively. There was no difference in the prevalence of stoma. Explorative analysis based on stratification for tumor regression grade and resection margin status indicated the presence of response migration. Despite increased pathological tumor regression at the time of surgery, we observed no benefit on late outcome. Improved tumor regression does not necessarily lead to a relevant clinical benefit when the neoadjuvant treatment is followed by high-quality surgery.
