    Abstract The conventional treatment for cT3-T4 or node-positive clinically resectable rectal cancer is long course preoperative chemoradiation followed by surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Disadvantages of this approach include possible overtreatment of patients, 6 weeks of daily radiation treatment, and undetected metastatic disease. There are a number of emerging trends which are changing this approach to treatment. Selected topics included in this manuscript include the selective use of pelvic radiation, the role of radiation for a positive radial margin, the interval between radiation and surgery, non-operative management, new chemoradiation regimens, short vs. long course radiation, and the role of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.

    Abstract Long-course chemoradiation therapy (CRT) has been the standard approach for locally advanced rectal tumors. Neoadjuvant CRT is associated to improved local disease control, with less toxicity when compared with adjuvant CRT, as well as the chance for pathologic complete response. The CRT regimens have improved over the past years. This article will examine selected controversies, including novel chemoradiation regimens, duration of radiation (short vs. long course), and radiation techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

    Abstract Since 2004, the standard of care for patients with cT3 and/or N+ rectal cancer has been preoperative chemoradiation followed by surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. A number of advances have occurred and are defining the future of rectal cancer therapy. Among these are short course radiation, the impact of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, selective radiation and selective surgery, and new chemoradiation regimens with novel agents. This review will examine these developments and assess their impact on the future therapy of rectal cancer.

    Abstract Purpose: Chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is the standard treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between vaginal dosimetry and long-term patient-reported dyspareunia after treatment. We further aimed to use the anterior vaginal wall (AVW) as an organ at risk to define an actionable dosimetric clinical goal to decrease the risk of patient-reported dyspareunia.
    Methods and materials: Women with SCCA treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy-based CRT were surveyed at least 2 years after successfully completing therapy. A Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) pain subscore ≤4 was used to define dyspareunia. Dosimetric parameters were calculated for both the full vaginal canal and AVW. Multivariable linear regression models were created to identify predictors of FSFI pain subscore using backward selection to identify final variables include in the models. An actionable dosimetric predictor for dyspareunia was established using the Youden index method for cutoff optimization.
    Results: Of 184 women who were contacted, 90 (49%) returned completed surveys. Of those who completed surveys, 51 (56.7%) reported being sexually active, and 47 had dosimetric data available for review. Of sexually active respondents, 32 (68%) had an FSFI pain subscore ≤4. Multiple regression models were generated using the full vaginal canal and AVW as organs at risk, and both models showed similar predictive relationships with volumetric dose parameters emerging as the best dosimetric predictors for dysparenuia. Age over 65 years was also associated with higher FSFI pain subscores (eg, less pain with intercourse) in both models. AVW V35 Gy < 60% was identified as the optimal cutoff to reduce the risk of patient-reported dyspareunia.
    Conclusions: Increased dose to the vaginal canal is significantly associated with worse patient-reported dyspareunia following CRT for SCCA. Minimizing dose to the AVW to V35 Gy < 60% may reduce the risk of this quality of life-limiting toxicity. Further prospective evaluation is needed to validate these findings.

    Abstract There are 2 approaches to preoperative therapy. Short-course (25 Gy in 5 fractions) radiation and long-course (50.4 Gy in 28 fractions) radiation combined with chemotherapy (CMT). Although short-course radiation therapy is used in some European countries, it is not favored in all European countries or North America. Unlike long-course CMT, it cannot be safely combined with adequate doses of systemic concurrent chemotherapy, and, as currently designed, it does not increase sphincter preservation. Long-course CMT remains the preferred regimen for cT3 and/or node-positive disease. With parallel advances in staging, surgery, systemic therapy, and molecular markers, more selective approaches are being investigated.

    Abstract In the past two decades, substantial progress has been made in the adjuvant management of colorectal cancer. Chemotherapy has improved overall survival in patients with node-positive (N+) disease. In contrast with colon cancer, which has a low incidence of local recurrence, patients with rectal cancer have a higher incidence requiring the addition of pelvic radiation therapy (chemoradiation). Patients with rectal cancer have a number of unique management considerations: for example, the role of short-course radiation, whether postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is necessary for all patients, and if the type of surgery following chemoradiation should be based on the response rate. More accurate imaging techniques and/or molecular markers may help identify patients with positive pelvic nodes to reduce the chance of overtreatment with preoperative therapy. Will more effective systemic agents both improve the results of radiation as well as modify the need for pelvic radiation? This review will address these and other controversies specific to patients with rectal cancer.
