- Abstract
In the present era of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and minimal invasive surgery, Roxburgh et al. evaluated how changes in assessment and treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer over time affect the short-term outcome. All patients received neo-adjuvant therapy resulting in a complete response in almost one in three patients and tumour down-staging in 70 percent of patients. The circumferential resection margin was negative in 94% of patients and the distal resection margin was negative in 98%.
