Effect of Concurrent Capecitabine-based Long-term Radiotherapy Followed by XELOX Plus TME in Patients With High Risk Rectal Cancer: a Multi-centers, Randomized Controlled, Open-Label Trial

Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of concurrent capecitabine-based long-term radiotherapy followed by 4 cycles XELOX pre- a delayed TME compared with 6 cycles XELOX post- a Regular Timing TME in patients with high-risk rectal cancer defined by MRI.
