[Correspondence] Short-course radiotherapy with delayed surgery for rectal cancer

We read with great interest the results from the recent Stockholm III trial, a multicentre, randomised, non-blinded, phase 3, non-inferiority trial done by Johan Erlandsson and colleagues,1 which compared short-course radiotherapy with immediate surgery, short-course radiotherapy with delayed surgery, and long-course radiotherapy with delayed surgery in locally advanced rectal cancer. However, some aspects of the study warrant closer attention.
