Popis: The standard management of locally advanced rectal tumors as cT3-T4 and/or N0/N1 is based on preoperative treatment combining radiotherapy of 45 to 50Gy and chemotherapy based on 5-fluorouracil. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy has already shown its interest compared to conformal radiotherapy in other locations, like in pelvic cancer. The role of intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the pre/postoperative treatment of rectal cancers is not a standard of care. Published studies showed its feasibility with the objective of less toxicity with equivalent efficacy.
