Preoperative radiotherapy (RT) is recommended to many patients with localised rectal cancer, not previously treated with pelvic RT. However, the optimum fractionation, the timing of surgery and the best use of concomitant chemotherapy remains controversial. There are theoretical reasons to believe that radiotherapy given in larger fractions during a shorter period of time might result in more late side effects than giving a conventional, more protracted RT in patients with rectal cancer. In addition, the optimum timing of surgery after RT, with respect to postoperative morbidity, mortality and potential downsizing of the tumour is not known. To address these questions, a prospective randomized multicenter trial was initiated, the Stockholm III trial, in which patients with primarily resectable rectal cancer were randomized to short-course preoperative RT (5x5 Gy) followed by surgery within one week or after 4-8 weeks or long-course preoperative RT(25x2 Gy) followed by surgery after 4-8 weeks.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Time to Local Recurrence. | Local recurrence was defined as tumour growth below the level of the sacral promontory, related to the previous rectal cancer, and diagnosed radiographically with MRI, CT, or both, or clinically (preferably with histological confirmation). A diagnosis of local recurrence was confirmed and reported by the patient-responsible physician to the Swedish ColoRectal Cancer Registry (SCRCR), a nationwide validated national registry. Local recurrence was measured both as first and any event occurring during follow-up (censoring date March 30 2015), when all patients had been followed for at least 2 years. | From date of randomisation until date of local recurrence or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to end of follow-up. | |
Secondary | Number of Participants With Postoperative Complications in Relation to Preoperative Radiotherapy Regimen and Overall Treatment Time. | Postoperative complications was defined as any cardiovascular event, infectious, neurological or surgical complications occurring within 30 days after surgery, or during the same hospital admission, validated from medial records. Overall postoperative complication was defined as having at least one postoperative complication. Participants were grouped based on type of preoperative radiotherapy (RT) regimen (eg short- or long course) and overall treatment time (OTT), defined as time between start of RT and surgery. Participants receiving short-course RT were categorised into four different groups; Group A: OTT 7 days, Group B: OTT 8-13 days, Group C: OTT 5-7 weeks, Group D: OTT 8-13 weeks. Participants receiving long-course RT were categorised into two different groups; Group E: OTT 9-11 weeks, Groups F: OTT 12-14 weeks. | From surgery until 30 days postoperatively. | |
Secondary | Tumour Regression Based on the Dworak Grading Scoring System | Tumour regression (TRG) was assessed using the Dworak grading scoring system, ranging from scores 0 to 4 with higher scores indicating better tumour regression. Definition of scores; 0 = no regression, 1 = dominant tumour mass with obvious fibrosis and/or vasculopathy, 2 = dominantly fibrotic changes with few tumour cells or groups (easy to find), 3 = very few (difficult to find microscopically) tumour cells in fibrotic tissue with or without mucous substance, 4 = no tumour cells, only fibrotic mass (total regression or complete response). All available microscopy slides were assessed by one pathologist, blinded to treatment. | At the time of surgery. |
