RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Evaluating the incidence of pathological complete response in current international rectal cancer practice: the barriers to widespread safe deferral of surgery A1 The 2017 European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) collaborating group K1 Cáncer K1 Cáncer de recto K1 Quimioterapia K1 Cirugía K1 Rectal surgery, rectal cancer, pathology, radiology, neoadjuvant therapy, surgical oncology, deferral of surgery K1 Rectal surgery K1 Rectal cancer K1 Pathology K1 Radiology K1 Neoadjuvant therapy K1 Surgical oncology K1 Deferral of surgery K1 Cirugía AB The mainstay of management for locally advanced rectal cancer is chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection. Following chemoradiotherapy, a complete response may be detected clinically and radio-logically (cCR) prior to surgery or pathologically after surgery (pCR). We aim to report the overall complete pathological response (pCR) rate and the reliability of detecting a cCR by conventional pre-operative imaging.
