Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy plus surgery and surgery plus postoperative adjuvant therapy for phase Ⅱ and Ⅲ low rectal cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients with phase Ⅱ and Ⅲ(T3, T4 and/or N1, N2) low rectal cancer who were admitted to our hospital from 2009 to 2013.Those patients were divided into group A (n=98) and group B (n=93) according to the treatment method. Group A received neoadjuvant therapy followed by radical resection. Group B was treated with radical resection and postoperative adjuvant therapy. Between-group comparison was made by χ2 test or Fisher′s exact probability test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival rates. Results The follow-up rate was 92.1%.The 3-year local recurrence (LR) and distant metastasis (DM) rates were significantly lower in group A than in group B (12.9% vs. 32.2%,P=0.002;13.5% vs. 37.8%,P=0.001).The 3-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were significantly improved in group A than in group B (84.7% vs. 69.9%,P=0.022;77.6% vs. 50.3%,P=0.004). Conclusions Neoadjuvant therapy is a safe and reliable treatment approach for phase Ⅱ and Ⅲ low rectal cancer, which can significantly reduce LR and DM rates and prolong the survival time.
