Brief summary
This is a retrospective cohort study that aims to evaluate the correlation of magnetic resonance tumour regression grade (mrTRG) and pathological TRG (pTRG) of locally advanced rectal cancer after neoadjuvant long course chemoradiotherapy as well as the prognostic value of mrTRG on survival.
Interventions
neoadjuvant long course chemoradiotherapy consist of radiosensitizing 5FU or capecitabine and 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions over 5 weeks
