Neo-adjuvant Short Course Chemo-radiation Therapy in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Patients

Summary

* The primary objective of this trial is to assess the safety and feasibility of 5-FU when given concurrently with5 Gy x 5 fractions IMRT. * The secondary endpoint is to assess disease local control and the response rate after short course radiotherapy concurrent with dose escalation infusion 5-fu followed by mFOLFOX and delayed surgery.
