Locoregional and systemic control after total neoadjuvant therapy with short-course radiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer: long-term outcomes from the LARCT-US study
TNT consisting of 5 × 5 Gy followed by four cycles of CAPOX/six cycles of FOLFOX resulted in excellent locoregional and distant control, despite inclusion of more advanced tumours than previous TNT studies. The low LRR risk in LARCT-US could be explained by more adequate distal resection margins practiced at Swedish centres.
