## Abstract Combining chemotherapy with preoperative radiotherapy (RT) has a sound radiobiological rationale. We performed a systematic review and metaβanalysis of trials comparing preoperative RT with preoperative chemoradiation (CRT) in rectal cancer patients. The Cochrane Central Register of Con

The encouraging results seen in patients who received postoperative combined modality therapy in the adjuvant setting have prompted increased interest in preoperative combined modality therapy for patients with unresectable rectal cancer.
