Abstract Background Pathological complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is associated with better survival, less local recurrence, and less distant failure. Furthermore, pCR indicates that the rectum may have been preserved. This meta-analysis gives an overview of available neoadjuvant treatment strategies for LARC and analyzes how these perform in achieving pCR as compared with the standard of care. Methods Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Central bibliographic databases were searched. Randomized controlled trials in which patients received neoadjuvant treatment for MRI-staged nonmetastatic resectable LARC were included. The primary outcome was pCR, defined as ypT0N0. A meta-analysis of studies comparing an intervention with standard fluoropyrimidine-based chemoradiation (CRT) was performed. Results Of the 17 articles included in the systematic review, 11 were used for the meta-analysis. Addition of oxaliplatin to fluoropyrimidine-based CRT resulted in significantly more pCR compared with fluoropyrimidine-based CRT only (OR 1.46), but at the expense of more ≥ grade 3 toxicity. Other treatment strategies, including consolidation/induction chemotherapy and short-course radiotherapy (SCRT), did not improve pCR rates. None of the included trials reported a benefit in local control or OS. Five-year DFS was significantly worse after SCRT-delay compared with CRT (59% vs. 75.1%, HR 1.93). Conclusions All included trials fail to deliver high-level evidence to show an improvement in pCR compared with standard fluoropyrimidine-based CRT. The addition of oxaliplatin might result in more pCR but at the expense of more toxicity. Furthermore, this benefit does not translate into less local recurrence or improved survival.

Is the Standardized Uptake Value of FDG-PET/CT Predictive of Pathological Complete Response in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Treated with Capecitabine-Based Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation?

TPS816 Background: Preoperative 5-Fluorouracil based chemoradiotherapy is the standard of treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer. About 15% to 18% of patients would achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) after 5-Fluorouracil based chemoradiation. And the survival outcome of patients with pCR was much better than that of non-pCR. In our previous FOWARC study, in the group of preoperative systemic chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6 combined with radiation, the pCR rate was up to 27.5%. In another study, adding mFOLFOX6 after neoadjuvant chemo radiation in locally advanced rectal cancer improve the pCR rate to 38%. This phase II study aimed to explore whether totally neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy with mFOLFOX6 could further improve the pCR rate in locally advanced rectal cancer. Methods: The primary endpoint is the pathologic complete response rate (pCR).The secondary endpoint included 3-year disease free survival rate, 3-year local recurrence rate, and safety. We hypothesized that totally neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy with mFOLFOX6 could improve the pCR rate from 18% to 45% with 5% type I error and 80% power. Fifty patients met inclusion criteria will be enrolled in the trial. All patients will receive long term radiation for 25 times and 50Gy before surgery. Four cycles of mFOLFOX6 would be performed every 2 weeks during radiotherapy, and another 4-6 cycles would be added after radiotherapy and before operation. Totally, the patients will receive 8-10 cycles of chemotherapy before surgery. MRI of the pelvic will be performed every 4 cycles of the therapy to assess clinical response. Then the patient will receive total mesorectal excision at least 8 weeks after radiotherapy. The post-operative chemotherapy will be omitted and all the patients go to surveillance. Clinical trial information: NCT02887313.
