7. Radical Resection for Rectal Cancer:
One Size Fits All?
• How do we achieve best results at the minimum price?
Locally advanced cancers
Early rectal cancer
• Postoperative morbidity & mortality
Most units 2-5%
High risk groups
• Permanent stoma 10-30%
Variation between surgeons, units & networks
Higher rates in socially deprived regions
• Long-term sequelae
Sphincter and sexual function
Second cancers
8. What happens if there is no tumour?
• Pathological complete response (pCR)
What does this mean?
Was surgery necessary?
• Microscopic foci of residual disease
What does this mean?
Would pCR occur if I waited longer?
9. Significance of pCR Following
Preoperative RT
• Measure of efficacy of preoperative RT
3-4% from RT alone
10-30% from CRT

12. Significance of pCR Following
Preoperative RT
• Measure of efficacy of preoperative RT

21. Factors Influencing pCR Following
Preoperative RT
• Size and stage of tumour
Locally advanced (T3-4) tumours
Early (T1-2) tumours
• Timing of surgery following completion of
preoperative RT
• Thoroughness of pathologist
Will he find the needle in the haystack?
• Radiotherapy & chemotherapy
22. Factors Influencing pCR Following
Preoperative RT
• Size and stage of tumour

23. Factors Influencing pCR Following
Preoperative RT
• Timing of surgery following completion of
preoperative RT
Longer duration results in better tumour response and
pathological downstaging
Does this translate to better outcomes?
Could outcomes be worse?
NCRI 6 vs 12 Week Trial
24. Factors Influencing pCR Following
Preoperative RT
• Thoroughness of pathological examination
Will he find the needle in the haystack?
Lack of standardisation of definition of pCR
25. Obliterated
vein
Fibrosis and previous site of vascular invasion
26.
27.
28. Standardisation of Definition of pCR
Consensus from CORE II Trial;
• Take 5 blocks from site of tumour, if no residual tumour;
• Embed whole of suspicious area, if no residual tumour;
• Take 3 levels through each block, if no residual tumour;
• Defined as pCR
29. Factors Influencing pCR Following
Preoperative RT
• Radiotherapy & chemotherapy
Optimal RT dose & fractionation
Interaction between RT and chemotherapy;
• choice of chemotherapy drug(s)
• optimal scheduling of chemotherapy

34. UK Perspective
• Standard of care is different from USA and most of
Europe
• pCR rates depend on MDT 'threshold' to give CRT;
any T3?
any N1?
CRM threatened only?
• CRT reserved for locally VERY advanced rectal cancers
• Very few patients with clinical CR
35. Clinical Complete Response Not
Achieved
• Proceed with planned surgery;
% with pCR
% with residual tumour?
36.
37. Clinical Complete Response Achieved
• Proceed with planned surgery;
% with pCR
% with residual tumour?
• Wait and watch;
Optimum follow up strategy and for how long?
How salvageable are recurrences?
% cured?
– NCRI Wait and Watch Trial
38. Future Developments
• Early rectal cancers
Higher pCR rates
Balancing number of patients at risk of 'overtreatment'
• Better predictive tools of pCR
• Better CRT regimens
39. Summary
• pCR is the key to progress for non-surgical
treatment
• Outcomes of 'true pCRs' are excellent
irrespective of surgical management
• Challenges of non-surgical management
– management of early stage cancers
– achieving a suitable compromise for patient
– successful salvage of failures
