The non-surgical management in a selected group of rectal cancer patients has shown promising results with adequate follow up.

Aims

describing the results of the non-surgical management in patients with complete clinical response, with a close follow up.

Methods

Between 2006 and 2015, patients with rectal cancer, stages I-III, without metastasis, treated with neoadjuvant CRT/CT, who had clinical complete response were included. CCR was defined through digital palpation, endoscopy-based criteria and MRI.

Follow up was set according to institutional guidelines.

Results

68 patients were included. Initial stage was assessed with MRI in 55/68 pts and EUS 11/68. Considering the recurrence risk factors 57.6% (29/68) were T2-3ab N0, 3.3% (2/68) were T4N0, 29% (20/68) were T3-4 N1-2, with 39.7% with positive MRC. Mean distance to the anal margin was 3 cm. Chemoradiation included radiotherapy at 50.4 cGy, and concurrent capecitabine. In 22% a fluoropirimidine and oxaliplatin-based schema was used as induction therapy.

Median follow up was 37.5 months and response assessment time 9 weeks (5–19).

Eleven patients recurred, 6 endoluminally, 3 developed mesorectal recurrence, and two distant failure. Five years DFS and OS were 76.3% and 93.8%.

Conclusions

conservative management was feasible with close follow up in leading cancer centres.

In this series, DFS and OS were comparable to the data already reported in the literature.
