Session 4: Shaping radiotherapy for rectal cancer: should this be personalized?

M Dattani et al. Colorectal Dis. 2018 May.

Abstract

Preoperative radiotherapy continues to be widely used in patients with operable rectal cancer. However, the indications and goals for such treatment are evolving. Professor Marijnen reviews the historic and current evidence base for the use of preoperative neoadjuvant radiotherapy and the future challenges in tailoring the therapy according to the patients' needs and tumour stage.
