SYMPOSIUM
Rectal cancer – prediction and individualisation
08:45 - 10:00 | AUDITORIUM
The approach to apply the same schedule of 5-fluorouracil-based chemoradiotherapy
(CRT) or short-course radiotherapy to all patients with stage II/III rectal cancer
need to be questioned. Treatment individualisation according to location, mesorectal
fascia margin status, molecular profiles, tumor response, and patients’ preferences
becomes increasingly popular and will render multimodal treatment of rectal
cancer more risk-adapted. This symposium will address novel clinical trials on the
role of sequence of treatment components, including induction and consolidation
chemotherapy before or after CRT, minimal or omitted surgery following complete
response to CRT, and modern imaging and molecular profiles to predict response
and guide treatment options.
