Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and high-dose radiation using intensity-modulated radiotherapy followed by rectal sparing TEM for distal rectal cancer

ConclusionsHigh-dose IMRT and chemotherapy followed by FTLE to treat distal rectal cancers are well tolerated and effective. FTLE may improve outcomes and minimize complications in appropriately selected patients. Randomized clinical trials are needed to compare it with standard surgery.
