Previously Irradiated Recurrent Rectal Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigators conduct this study to evaluate the efficacy and adverse effect of salvage concurrent chemo-proton therapy (CCPT) with or without surgical resection in previously irradiated recurrent rectal cancer.
Detailed description
The obtaining of local control in previously irradiated recurrent rectal cancer is crucial for survival prolongation as well as quality of life of patients. But, it is not easy to get with surgery and/or conventional radiotherapy (RT) because of the limitation of RT dose. Proton therapy has unique advantage showing superior dose distribution focusing tumor escaping surrounding normal tissues using Bragg-peak.
Interventions
Proton therapy with simultaneous integrated boost technique Gross tumor volume 70.4 gray (Gy)/ 16 fractions and clinical target volume 44.8 Gy/16 fractions Capecitabine twice a day 825 mg/body square meter
