Preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and sphincter-preserving total mesorectal excision (TME) effectively control tumor growth in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). However, associated complications can impair the quality of life (QoL) of the patients. Neoadjuvant therapies, such as consolidation neoadjuvant therapy and total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT), can improve tumor regression, potentially achieving a complete response and allowing organ preservation. Emerging clinical data suggest that these approaches can promote long-term cancer control in patients with LARC.
术前放化疗(CRT)和保留括约肌的全直肠系膜切除术(TME)可有效控制局部晚期直肠癌(LARC)的肿瘤生长。然而,相关并发症会损害患者的生活质量(QoL)。新辅助治疗,如巩固新辅助治疗和全新辅助治疗(TNT),可改善肿瘤退缩,有可能实现完全缓解并保留器官。新出现的临床数据表明,这些方法可促进LARC患者的长期癌症控制。
