Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age > 19 years 2. Locally advanced rectal cancer, histologically confirmed; clinically T3/4, clinically N+, enlarged lateral lymph nodes, extramural vascular invasion (+), or mesorectal fascia (+) 3.

Patients with ability to swallow and retain oral medication and no clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities tha may alter absoprtion 5. Patients with ability to collect their blood and stool samples

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Rectal cancer, other histologic type than adenocarcinoma (such as squamous cell carcinoma) 2. Patients who schedule to receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy or short-course radiotherapy alone followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy 3. Patients who need emergent surgery or colostomy due to obstruction or bleeding 4. Prior use of proton pump inhibitors or H2 blockers, probiotics, immunosuppressive agents, and antibiotics within 4 weeks 5. Patients have concurrent medication that may interact with fluoropyrimidine or oxaliplatin (i.e. flucytosine, phenytoin, or warfarin) 6. Known prior history of severe adverse events during fluoropyrimidine or deficiency of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) 7. Known prior severe hypersensitivity to platinum 8.
