Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: (1) Pathologically proven adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma using the resected specimen of the initial rectal cancer or the endoscopic biopsy from the initial rectal cancer. (2) The main tumor location of the initial rectal cancer is RS, Ra,Rb,or P. (3) The following treatment was performed for the initial rectal cancer, and judged as R0/1 or ER0/1 in pathological diagnosis. (i) Rectal resection (with or without lymph node dissection). (ii) Local resection. (iii) Endoscopic resection. (4) The patients who had distant metastasis when or after treated for the initial rectal cancer, and radical surgical resection or radical radiotherapy was performed more than 168 days before registration is eligible. (5) Diagnosed as reccurent rectal cancer by the following modality after treatment for the initial rectal cancer. (i) The reccurnet lesion is pathologically diagnosed. (ii) Diagnosed as local reccurence by more than two modality from contrast-enhanced CT, MRI, or PET. (iii) Chronological progression of lesion is obseved by more than one modality from contrast-enhanced CT, MRI, or PET. (6) The main tumor location is diagnosed within pelvis by contrast-enhanced CT and MRI if reccurent lesion is multiple, or reccurent lesions spread outside of pelvis continuously. (7) Not the locally recurrent rectal cancer with any following condition. (i) Judged as resectable endoscopically. (ii) Diagnosed as depth of invasion within MP by contrast-enhanced CT, MRI, or PET in case of recurrence inside of intestine (iii) Solitary ovary metastasis. (iv) Reccurence of common iliac lymph node alone. (8) Locally recurrent rectal cancer is judged as resectable, all of the following conditions must be fulfilled: (i) No distant metastasis on contrast-enhanced CT (cM0).

(10) No prior pelvic irradiation for any malignancies. (11) The patient who had received systemic chemotherapy for any malignancies and was more than 14 days after the final administration is eligible. (12) Age at registration is of 20 to80 years old. (13) ECOG Performance status is 0 or 1. (14) Measureable lesion is not mandatory. (15) Sufficient oral intake. (16) Sufficient organ function.
