Short-course versus long-course neoadjuvant radiotherapy combined with delayed surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer: a Meta-analysis
Objective
Short-course neoadjuvant radiotherapy (SCRT) combined with delayed surgery seems to be safer than SCRT in combination with immediate surgery. However, the clinical efficacy between SCRT and long-course neoadjuvant radiotherapy (LCRT) combined with delayed surgery has not been compared. Therefore, this meta-analysis was performed to compare the safety and efficacy between SCRT and LCRT followed by delayed surgery in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
Methods
Relevant literatures were searched using relevant databases. Baseline characteristics and treatment results of patients were extracted. The included studies were subject to bias risk assessment. Evidence assessment and data analysis were conducted.
Results
A total of 7 studies with 4967 patients were included. Meta-analysis results illustrated no statistical significance between two groups in terms of sphincter preservation rate, R0 resection rate, postoperative complications, local recurrence rate (LRR), distant metastasis, recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), length of hospital stay and acute radiotherapy toxicity (all P>0.05). Compared with SCRT with delayed surgery, LCRT with delayed surgery was associated with a significant increase in the tumor downstaging rate (RR=0.84, 95%CI=0.76-0.93, P<0.05) and a considerable increase in pathologically complete remission rate (RR=0.46, 95%CI=0.34-0.61, P<0.05).
Conclusions
SCRT with delayed surgery is as effective as LCRT with delayed surgery in terms of sphincter preservation rate, R0 resection rate, postoperative complications, LRR, RFS, OS, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute toxicity and length of hospital stay. However, LCRT in combination with delayed surgery enhances the tumor downstaging rate and pathologically complete remission rate.

期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology is a national academic journal sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. It was founded in 1992 and the title was written by Chen Minzhang, the former Minister of Health. Its predecessor was the Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology, which was founded in 1987. The journal is an authoritative journal in the field of radiation oncology in my country. It focuses on clinical tumor radiotherapy, tumor radiation physics, tumor radiation biology, and thermal therapy. Its main readers are middle and senior clinical doctors and scientific researchers. It is now a monthly journal with a large 16-page format and 80 pages of text. For many years, it has adhered to the principle of combining theory with practice and combining improvement with popularization. It now has columns such as monographs, head and neck tumors (monographs), chest tumors (monographs), abdominal tumors (monographs), physics, technology, biology (monographs), reviews, and investigations and research.
