Clinical Effect of Neoadjuvant Hierarchical Treatment Based on Chemotherapy for T3-4N0-2M0 Middle and Lower Rectal Cancer

Clinical effect of neoadjuvant hierarchical treatment based on chemotherapy for T3-4N0-2M0 middle and lower rectal cancer

Study Overview

Detailed Description

By setting 3-Year disease-free survival (DFS) as main objective, the treatment strategy will be optimizing as neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone and chemo-radio-chemo sequential treatment.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Non-Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Sequential Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Preoperative neoadjuvant CT
Give neoadjuvant chemotherapy for four cycle ,if achieve cCR or cPR after four cycles neoadjuvant chemotherapy , receive Total Mesorectal Excision(TME) ,then received the complete adjuvant therapy
  1. Find the hypogastric nerve trunk in front of sacral promontory and protect it,be careful to use electrocautery hemostasis biased toward the side of rectal when handle lateral ligament of rectum and middle rectal artery and avoid to damage the pelvic plexus.
  2. At least a 2-cm margin to the lower edge of the tumor is adequate for distal bowel resection. Resect 5cm length distal rectal or all of the mesorectum.Check the integrity of the mesorectum in postoperative routine examination. Double stapling method is used for all low anastomosis operations.
CAPEOX protocol:Oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 ivgtt 2-6h dl;(Capecitabine 1000mg/m2 2 times a day lasts for 14 days Repeat every 3 weeks
Other Names:
  • neoadjuvant chemotherapy
CAPEOX protocol:Oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 ivgtt 2-6h dl;(Capecitabine 1000mg/m2 2 times a day lasts for 14 days Repeat every 3 weeks
Other Names:
  • adjuvant chemotherapy
Experimental: Preoperative neoadjuvant CT-RCT
Give neoadjuvant chemotherapy for four cycle ,if not achieve cCR or cPR after four cycle neoadjuvant chemotherapy ,give concurrent chemo-radiotherapy,then additional neoadjuvant chemotherapy for 2 cycles ,then receive Total Mesorectal Excision(TME) ,then received the complete adjuvant therapy

Other Names:
  • adjuvant chemotherapy
Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy as following: CTV 44Gy/22 times+GTV1 6Gy/3 times(2Gy/time/day,5 days a week,totally 5 weeks),if rectal tumors do not regress obviously, additional GTV2 is necessary, 5.4Gy/3 times (1.8Gy/time/day). At the same time, Capecitabine (850mg/m2, two times every day) will be taken on radiotherapy day
Other Names:
