Rectal Cancer CLINICAL COMPLETE RESPONSE TO NEOADJUV. CHRT (488 pts. clinically staged T 3-4 or N+ before CHRT) cCR is a poor predictor of pCR Incidence of occult node-positive disease is relatively high Small but deep tumor cells are characteristic of cCR patients: viable tumor? A longer waiting period after completion of neoadjuvant therapy can alter the pCR rate HIGHER RISK FOR LOCAL SURGERY? MSKCC, J. Am. Coll. Surg. 2002

Rectal Cancer SPHINCTER-SAVING SURGERY AFTER CHRT CONCLUSIONS Lower edge of resection < 1 cm is not correlated with higher risk of local relapse Local excision could be adequate for well selected complete responders
