Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The rate of complete respose after the neoaduvant therapy (pathological CR+clinical CR)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) Safety, completion rate, response rate of the neoadjuvant therapy (including clinical complete response), postoperative 30-day complication rate, rate of R0 resection and positive CRM rate 2) Prognosis in eligible cases and that in cases without protocol diviation (overall survival, disease free survival, 3-year cumaltive local recurrence rate) 3) Prognosis after the surgical resecton (overall survival, disease free survival, 3-year cumultive local recurrence rate; overall survival, disease free survival, 3-year cumultive local recurrence rate in each stage) 4) Prognosis after the watch and wait strategy (overall survival, disease free survival, 3-year cumultive local recurrence rate, rate of salvage surgery, disease free survival after the salvage surgery, 3-year cumultive local recurrence rate after the salvage surgery) 5) QOL regarding life satisfaction, peripheral neurological disorder and incontinence, cumaltive rate of stoma, postoperative 3-year complication rate in anastomosis
