PAN-EX: A pooled analysis of two trials of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy in MRI-defined, locally advanced rectal cancer

This analysis confirms that administering neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) before chemoradiotherapy (CRT) could be a potential option for high-risk, locally advanced rectal cancer. In this setting, MRI tumour regression grade is an independent prognostic factor and, when assessed after NACT, may predict the probability and magnitude of incremental benefit from sequential CRT.
