Clinicopathological Selection Easy in former times: • …postoperative chemoradio- • therapy: rectal cancer < 12 cm from anal verge pT3-4 or pN+ • …preoperative RT (5x5 Gy): • any rectal cancer < 15 cm
Pooled Analysis : Five US postoperative phase III studies, n=3791 • Low Risk • pT1-2/N0 • Intermediate Risk • pT3/N0 and pT1-2/N1 • Moderately high Risk • pT1-2/N2 and pT3/N1 and pT4/N0 • High Risk • pT3/N2 and pT4/N1-2 Not included „May not require RT“ Gunderson et al., J Clin Oncol 2004
