Abstract
The patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who received neoadjuvant treatment with chemo-radiotherapy in the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología during the year 2010 were, mainly males with a good functional state. The principal chemotherapy scheme employed was 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin in boluses, due to which resectability of the tumour, preservation of the sphincter, and a pathological response in approximately half of the patients, was achieved.
