While radiotherapy has traditionally been regarded as the cornerstone for achieving improved local control in rectal cancer, it is accompanied by a range of associated complications, including bowel and bladder dysfunction, gonadal ablation, and Low Anterior Resection Syndrome. De-escalation of treatment is undoubtedly beneficial for many patients, and this approach should be tailored to consider their expectations while prioritizing patient care in decision-making. Although there is inadequate data to support the oncologic safety of a watch-and-wait approach without radiation or to omit radiation in patients with suspicious lateral pelvic lymph nodes, sufficient evidence exists to justify de-escalation by avoiding radiation before surgery in many other patients who respond well to chemotherapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":17111,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgical Oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143007434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
