Sphincter-preserving Surgery After Preoperative Treatment of Ultra-low Rectal Carcinoma (GRECCAR1)
June 28, 2023 updated by: Institut du Cancer de Montpellier - Val d'Aurelle
Phase II Trial Comparing Two Neoadjuvant Treatments in Patients With Ultra-low Rectal Cancer: High-dose Radiotherapy Versus Radio-chemotherapy
This phase III trial included patients with low rectal adenocarcinoma which initially required APR, with a mean clinical distance between the tumor inferior pole and the levator ani of 0.5 cm.
Patients were randomly assigned to receive high-dose radiation (45 + 18 Gy) or radiochemotherapy (45 Gy + 5FU continuous infusion).
The surgical decision was based on the tumor status at surgery.
All surgeons used a homogenous SSR technique such as intersphincteric resection.
The primary endpoint was the SSR rate.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adenocarcinoma of ultra-low rectum at high risk of abdomino-périneal amputation

Active Comparator: High-dose Radiotherapy

Preoperative radiotherapy of 45 Gy/25 fractions of 1.8 Gy through three fields was delivered to the pelvis over 5 weeks, followed by a 18 Gy/10 fraction boost to the primary tumor over 2 weeks.

Chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, 200 mg per square meter of body-surface area per day) was delivered over 5 weeks concurrently with the pelvic radiotherapy.
