The Effect of Electro-Hyperthermia in Preoperative Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Rectal Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect of Electro-hyperthermia in Preoperative Radiotherapy Followed by Delayed Operation for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: Phase II Single Institutional Study

Clinical Trial Summary

Preoperative radiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer increases the possibility of complete resection and anal sphincter preservation. However, a treatment period of from 5 to 6 weeks is an obstacle of proper surgical intervention. Also, radiotherapy itself is confronting challenges for maximizing the therapeutic effect and minimizing the side effects. Electro-hyperthermia is appropriate treatment method to solve these kinds of problems. In this clinical trial, therapeutic effect of the high-frequency electro-hyperthermia is to be verified during preoperative radiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer. The ultimate goal is to establish a safe and effective treatment protocol.

Electro-hyperthermia is appropriate treatment method to solve these kinds of problems. In this clinical trial, therapeutic effect of the high-frequency electro-hyperthermia is to be verified during preoperative radiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer. The endpoint of the trial is treatment safety and non-inferiority of tumor regression to conventional schedule of preoperative radiotherapy. ;
