- Abstract
The results of the recently published large European randomised study in rectal cancer (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer 22921 trial) do not support current guidelines recommending postoperative chemotherapy for patients who have previously undergone preoperative radiochemotherapy or radiotherapy [radio(chemo)therapy]. To evaluate this discrepancy further, a systematic review of relevant randomised trials was undertaken.
