NCT00847119

Brief Summary

The project objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the neoadjuvant treatment with bevacizumab, capecitabine and radiotherapy, in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma resectable locally advanced (stage T3 or T4), with or without presence of ganglionar metastases and without distant metastases.
