Comparison of 5FU-base Chemoradiation with and without Eloxatin on Pathologic Complete Response in Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation of Rectal cancer
Background and Objectives: To compare pathologic complete response (pCR) in patients with advanced rectal cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACT) by 5-FU or Xeloda (capecitabine) with and without Eloxatin (oxaloplatin injection). Materials and Methods: Seventy-five consecutive patients with the diagnosis of advanced rectal adenocarcinoma were included. Two basic chemotherapy r...
متن کاملNew drug in neoadjuvant chemoradiation for rectal cancer
Background: In recent years, neoadjuvant chemoradiation and subsequent surgical resection with total mesorectal excision has been shown to increase local control with decreased toxicity. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer. In this study we evaluated the efficacy a cox-2 inhibitor on pathologic response, sphincter preservation and acute tox...
متن کاملNeoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy and pathological complete response in rectal cancer
The management of rectal cancer has evolved significantly in the last few decades. Significant improvements in local disease control were achieved in the 1990s, with the introduction of total mesorectal excision and neoadjuvant radiotherapy. Level 1 evidence has shown that, with neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (CRT) the rates of local recurrence can be lower than 6% and, as a result, neoadju...
متن کاملCan diffusion-weighted MRI determine complete responders after neoadjuvant chemoradiation for locally advanced rectal cancer?
PURPOSE We aimed to prospectively determine if analyzing pre- and post-chemoradiotheraphy (CRT) changes in the signal intensity (SI) and apperent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) can accurately predict complete responders for locally advanced rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients (mean age, 54.3 years) with locally a...
