ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT In locally advanced rectal cancer, neoadjuvant treatment has evolved from no preoperative treatment to the addition of radiation and systemic therapy and ultimately total neoadjuvant therapy. Total neoadjuvant therapy is the completion of preoperative radiation or chemoradiation and chemotherapy before surgery in order to maximize tumor response and improve survival outcomes. This review summarizes the literature of the neoadjuvant approaches related to locally advanced rectal cancer and highlights the nuances of selecting the appropriate treatment.
