SYMPOSIUM Rectal cancer – prediction and individualisation 08:45 - 10:00 | AUDITORIUM

The approach to apply the same schedule of 5-fluorouracil-based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) or short-course radiotherapy to all patients with stage II/III rectal cancer need to be questioned. Treatment individualisation according to location, mesorectal fascia margin status, molecular profiles, tumor response, and patients’ preferences becomes increasingly popular and will render multimodal treatment of rectal cancer more risk-adapted. This symposium will address novel clinical trials on the role of sequence of treatment components, including induction and consolidation chemotherapy before or after CRT, minimal or omitted surgery following complete response to CRT, and modern imaging and molecular profiles to predict response and guide treatment options.
