Outcomes after pCR in RAPIDO trial of rectal cancer summarized by Erman Akkus
Erman Akkus, Medical Oncology Fellow at Ankara University, shared on X/Twitter:
“Outcomes after pCR in RAPIDO trial of rectal cancer.
- pCR rates:
-TNT: 28%, CRT: 14% - Following pCR, similar 5-year cumulative time-to-recurrence and overall survival
-TTR: 8% vs 7%
-OS: 94% vs 93% - Parameters associated with pCR:
-TNT
-pre-treatment CEA<5
-tumour size <40 mm
-cT2
Would TNT with long-course RT (as in PRODIGE23) differ the TTR and OS among patients with pCR?”
