ABSTRACT
Rectal cancer management has evolved significantly, particularly with neoadjuvant treatment strategies. This narrative review examines the development and effectiveness of these therapies for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), highlighting the historical quest that led to current neoadjuvant alternatives. Initially, trials showed the benefits of adding radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (CT) to surgery, reducing local recurrence (LR). The addition of oxaliplatin to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) further improved outcomes. TNT integrates chemotherapy and radiotherapy preoperatively to enhance adherence, timing, and systemic control. Key trials, including PRODIGE 23, CAO/ARO/AIO 12, OPRA, RAPIDO, and STELLAR, are analyzed to compare short-course and long-course RT with systemic chemotherapy. The heterogeneity and difficulty in comparing TNT trials due to different designs and outcomes are acknowledged, along with their promising long-term results. On the other hand, it briefly discusses the potential for non-operative management (NOM) in select patients, a strategy gaining traction due to favorable outcomes in specific trials. As a conclusion, this review underscores the complexity of rectal cancer treatment, emphasizing individualized approaches considering patient preferences and healthcare resources. It also highlights the importance of interpreting impressive positive or negative results with caution due to the variability in study designs and patient populations.
