Abstract

The treatment paradigm for locally advanced rectal cancer is multidisciplinary and includes chemoradiotherapy and surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. This review discusses the rationale behind multimodality treatment, the role of radiotherapy, and the potential for its omission in selected patients in the future.
