Titre : | NEOADJUVANT TREATMENT IN RECTAL CANCER | Type de document : | thèse | Auteurs : | Youssef EL MARRAK, Auteur | Année de publication : | 2021 | Langues : | Français (fre) | Mots-clés : | Rectal cancer Neoadjuvant treatment Radiotherapy Chemotherapy | Résumé : | Background: Neoadjuvant treatment is a pillar of the current standard care of locally
advanced rectal cancer. Many approaches are used as neoadjuvant treatment, while more are
analyzed and studied to further improve the current ones.
Aim: To investigate the neoadjuvant treatment as a current standard of care for locally
advanced rectal cancer
Methods: A review of the literature was performed to investigate and evaluate the
neoadjuvant treatment in the current standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer. The
review includes original articles published in English, included and not limited to systematic
reviews, prospective studies, and retrospective ones. It also included chapters and data from
different books and scientific sites.
Results: Short-course radiotherapy and long-course chemoradiotherapy have
comparable results, while total neoadjuvant treatment seems like a promising approach,
although more studies are needed. Moreover, intensified neoadjuvant treatment’s results differ
depending on the strategy used, and they show new directions for a better treatment approach.
Conclusion: Neoadjuvant treatment shows clearly its advantages in treating locally
advanced rectal cancer, especially when it comes to improving local control and increasing
pathological complete response | Numéro (Thèse ou Mémoire) : | M3262021 | Président : | Hassan SIFAT | Directeur : | Mohammed EL MARJANY | Juge : | Yassir SBITTI | Juge : | Hakim EL KAOU | Juge : | Hanan EL KACEMI |
