Brief summary

The study is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, phase II clinical trial. Patients with pelvic recurrent rectal cancer aged from 18 to 75 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1, will receive 45-50Gy/25Fx irradiation or 30Gy/15Fx reirradiation (history of pelvic radiation). PD-1 inhibitor (Toripalimab) was used throughout the course of induction chemotherapy (before radiation), concurrent chemoradiation and consolidation chemotherapy (after radiation); radical resection was followed by well-experienced surgeons . The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR) rate. Secondary endpoints were R0 resection rate, 3-year progression-free survival, overall survival, pathological tumor regression grade, operation characteristics and incidence of major surgical complications.

Interventions

RADIATIONRadiation

45-50Gy/25Fx or 30Gy/15Fx

DRUGCapecitabine

Capecitabine:1000mg/m² d1-14 q3w; Capecitabine:825mg/m² on the day of radiotherapy

PROCEDUREsurgery

The type of surgery will depend on the site of recurrence and the involvement of adjacent structures, which will be determined by the surgeons.
