Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \. The patient has been fully informed of the contents of the study and has given written consent.
  • \. The patient has adenocarcinoma of the rectum confirmed by histological examination.
  • \. No distant metastases are detected on imaging studies, and radical resection is clinically feasible.
  • \. Age of 20 years or older on the date of consent. 5. ECOG Performance Status (PS) is 0 - 1 (PS 0 for age 71 years or older on the date of consent).
  • \. Previously untreated rectal cancer with the lower margin of the tumor within 12 cm of the anal verge (AV).
  • \. Patients with cT2N0M0 in the diagnosis before starting treatment (a lymph node with a short diameter of 7 mm or more is considered positive).
  • The conditions for lymph node metastasis shall be as follows. Contrast-enhanced CT or MRI (plain or contrast-enhanced) with a slice width of 5 mm or less.
  • (i) Short diameter of 10 mm or more (ii) Short diameter of 7 mm or more and one or more of the following a) to c) are met
  • (a) Edge irregularity (b) Low signal area with internal heterogeneity on MRI (c) Circular (long/short diameter ratio \< 1.5) If contrast-enhanced CT is not possible due to contrast medium allergy, renal dysfunction, or bronchial asthma, simple CT is acceptable.
  • \. The following criteria for major organ function within 14 days prior to registration are met.
  • If more than one test result exists within this period, the most recent one should be used. No blood transfusions or hematopoietic factor products should be administered within 14 days prior to the test date.
  • Neutrophil count: greater than or equal to 1,500/mm3
  • Platelet count: \>= 10.0 x 104 /mm3
  • Hemoglobin concentration: \>=9.0 g/dL
  • Total bilirubin: 1.5 times or less than the upper limit of the institutional standard
  • +2 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • \. underwent treatment by any of the following within a certain period of time prior to initiation of protocol therapy
  • extensive surgery (excluding CV port placement) within 4 weeks
  • Any anticancer therapy within 4 weeks
  • Radiation within 4 weeks 2. concomitant or pre-existing severe pulmonary disease (interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, severe emphysema, etc.) 3. patients who have had a colonic stent implanted 4. patients with serious comorbidities (heart failure, renal failure, liver failure, bleeding peptic ulcer, intestinal paralysis, bowel obstruction, poorly controlled diabetes, etc.) 5. patients with active multiple overlapping cancers (synchronous multiple overlapping cancers or iatrogenic multiple overlapping cancers with a disease-free period of 5 years or less). However, carcinoma in situ (intraepithelial carcinoma) or intramucosal carcinoma that is considered curable by local treatment is not considered active multiple overlapping carcinoma.
  • \. pregnant or lactating women, positive pregnancy test or unwillingness to use contraception 7. HBs antigen positive or HCV antibody positive. 8. has known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. 9. otherwise judged by the principal investigator or subinvestigator to be unsuitable for this study.
