Evaluation and Comparison of the Efficacy of a New Standard Pre-operative Chemotherapy for Stage II and III Colorectal Cancer According to the FOLFOX4 Regimen With Routine Chemoradiation Therapy
Phase II, Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized Study evaluating neoadjuvant chemotherapy (FOLFOX4) in patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer with standard chemoradiation Defined by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Inclusion: diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma; radiologically measurable tumor size; general condition (ECOG 0-2 points); stage II or III rectal tumor clinically (pelvic MRI and endorectal ultrasound),; in the absence of long-term spread of the disease (confirmed by radiological examinations (computed tomography of the thorax and abdomen)); during preoperative proctoscopy, the tumor is detected 0 -15 cm from the anus; Blood tests 28 days before the start of treatment:; and general blood count: neutrophils greater than 1.5x10 9 / l, platelets greater than 100 x 10 9 / l, Hemoglobin greater than 80 g / l, liver enzymes (Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/GOT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT/GPT) not more than 3 times upper limit), and renal function (creatinine up to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal) is normal; women of childbearing potential - negative pregnancy test; A signed informed consent form.
Exclusion: previous lower abdominal radiation therapy; patients with signs of intestinal obstruction at the start of treatment; other tumors over a five-year period; pregnant or breastfeeding women; men and women of childbearing potential who do not agree to use adequate contraception; Patient co-morbidities that would make the patient unsuitable for this study or significantly interfere with the assessment of safety and toxicity.
