IROT: Study of Intraoperative Radiotherapy for Middle and Low Rectal Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To study the application of Intersphincteric Resection（ISR）combined with intraoperative radiation therapy(IORT) for ultra-low rectal cancer,and to broaden the surgical indications of Intersphincteric Resection（ISR.
The study is aimed to assess the postoperative acute complication and the short-term acute efficacy on the patients with middle and low rectal cancer by treated with intraoperative radiotherapy,especially those with peritoneal inversion rectal cancer.

Detailed Description
Abstract objective: To study the application of Intersphincteric Resection（ISR）combined with intraoperative radiation therapy(IORT) for ultra-low rectal cancer,and to broaden the surgical indications of Intersphincteric Resection（ISR）.
Methods: Patients, who were diagnosed with ultra-low rectal cancer and had strong desire of preserving anal function, will take part in the research,whose tumor invading the levator ani muscle or above, the diameter less than 6cm, the lower tumor margin away from the anal verge by less than 5cm and away from the dentate line by less than 3cm.They will undergo total mesorectal excision(TME) and ISR combined with IORT and prophylactic ileostomy.
Outcomes Measures:The evaluation of short term effects includes complications such as anastomotic leakage, acute radiation injury ,urinary dysfunction ,dysfunction of anal sphincter ,sexual dysfunction ,local recurrence , total life expectancy and expectancy without metastasis. The postoperative pathological examination reported to be moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma .We wili assess their postoperative acute complications and short-term efficacy .Their time of follow up visit wil be 1 year or more.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: A group Colorectal cancer patients first are given antineoplastic drugs and then transfer to operative room to be treated by surgical resection and the radiotherapy is given during the operation after the removal of the tumour. |
Radiation: Intraoperative radiotherapy by Intrabeam（Zeiss Meditech，Jena，Germany）
We confirmed that if the patients had the distant metastasis before IORT. The median radiation dose was 5.00 Gy (range: 5.00-10.00Gy), the average dose was 6.00 Gy. The median radiation time was 0:33:24 (range: 0:21:45-1:06:23), which was the same with the patients'. All patients' surface dose ranged from 15.00 to 28.50 Gy.
|
| No Intervention: B group Colorectal cancer patients first are given antineoplastic drugs and then transfer to operative room to be treated only by surgical resection and no radiotherapy afer the removal of the tumour. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Decide and record the region of radiotherapy [Intraoperation]
The operator will confirm and record the range of intrabeam after removal of tumor such as the length and height to modify the dose and the time of intrabeam.
- The basic information and medical history achieved (questionnaire) [baseline]
Investigators will take a overall information about the patients including the physical condition,history of present illness,family genetic history etc;Then the information will be recorded in a format to develop a statistic analysis.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Major Adverse Events [1 year after operation]
The local relapse (pelvic pain, bleeding and intestinal obstruction included)or metastasis will be recorded by the investigator
- The short-term complications [1 year after operation]
The short-term complications(seroma,wound dehiscence and bleeding hematomas)will be followed up by investigator.
