What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Until 2020, the standard treatment for rectal cancer was a combination of radiotherapy and concomitant chemotherapy based on IV or oral 5FU, with a low complete response rate. The randomised phase 3 PRODIGE 23 trial evaluated a regimen of FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy prior to neoadjuvant RTCT, with 3-year disease-free survival as the primary endpoint. Patients in the PRODIGE 23 arm had significantly better 3-year disease-free survival (76% versus 69%; p=0.034) and 3-year metastasis-free survival (79% versus 72%; p=0.017) than patients in the standard arm, and the complete histological response rate to neoadjuvant treatment (ypT0N0) doubled from 12% in the standard arm to 28% in the PRODIGE 23 arm. The main benefit of surgical de-escalation is to improve patients' quality of life. The main obstacle to the non-surgical management of these patients with a complete response after RTCT was the i
