5FU/VL Vs LV5FU2 + CPT11 in Stage II-III Resected Rectal Cancer

The main objective of this randomized trial is to compare 5FU/LV (Mayo-Clinic regimen or LV5FU2) to LV5FU2 + irinotécan in patients with resected B2 and C rectal cancer. Preoperative radiotherapy is recommended but not mandatory. Main endpoint is disease free survival. Secondary endpoint are overall survival, time to local recurrence, time to distant metastases, and tolerance. A total of 600 patients will be included in the trial.
