Management of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: ASCO Guideline

Nina Niu Sanford replied to the release of this paper:

“Great reference! Though sad to me that in 2024 our only 2 standard RT regimens are still just long with short course with large fields – regimens created decades ago before any appreciation of molecular differences, non-op, MRI-staging, etc.

So much room to individualize RT in rectal cancer.”

Ane Appelt, Associate Professor at the University of Leeds, also replied:

Very much agree – we’ve got so much work to do in rectal cancer radonc: adjusting fields and target volumes to stage, optimising dose and fractionation to intent and systemic treatment (rather than just use what worked in the pre-op, no TNT setting), finding the right OARs, etc.”
