Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In a retrospective study, the investigators will compare patients with locally advanced rectal cancer with high risk factors for failure who were treated with standard therapy or with total neoadjuvant therapy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- pathological complete response [during surgery]
pathological complete response is defined as the absence of tumor cells in the surgical resection
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Neoadjuvant rectal cancer score [during treatment, assessed up to 10 days]
Neoadjuvant rectal cancer score: The NAR score was calculated using the equation [5 pN - 3(cT - pT) + 12]^2 / 9.61 and further classified as low (< 8), intermediate (8-16), or high (< 16).
Other Outcome Measures
- number of participants who completed treatment [during treatment, assessed up to 10 days]
Compliance - number of participants who completed treatment protocol
- number of participants with acute side effects [during treatment, assessed up to 10 days]
Acute toxcity - number of participants with side effects during different treatment modality
