Determining the Optimal Radiation-Surgery Interval (RSI) for Oncologic Proctectomy Following Radiotherapy for Rectal Adenocarcinoma.
Journal of Surgical Oncology 2023 March 28
Preoperative radiotherapy has improved outcomes in rectal cancer patients, however the optimal interval between radiation and proctectomy is unknown. A review of contemporary literature suggests an 8-12 week interval between radiation and surgery likely improves tumor response rates for rectal cancer patients undergoing protectomy, which may convey modest improvements in long-term oncologic outcomes. Prolonged radiation-surgery intervals may expose surgeons to pelvic fibrosis, however, which may impact later-term proctectomies and compromise perioperative and oncologic outcomes.
