The aim of study is to find any correlation between tumor volume reduction and histopathologic downstaging in locally advanced rectal cancer by preoperative CCRT. Methods: A total of 16 patients of rectal cancer were selected. They had been T3,4 N (+) preoperatively staged by using a transrectal ultrasonography and pelvic MRI. Radiation was given, a total of 5,040 cgy over 5 weeks, and systemic chemotherapy was also given 5 FU 450 mg/m 2 and leucovorin 20 mg/m 2 concurrently intravenously during the first and the fifth week of CCRT. Surgery was done 46 weeks after completion of CCRT. A 3D CT image was obtained with AcQsim PQ 5000 3D (Philips, USA). Tumor volume was measured before and after CCRT. Results: The type of operative procedures were abdominoperineal resection 7, low anterior resection 5, coloanal anastomosis 3 and Hartmann operation 1. Volume reduction was ranged from 14.6% to 84.4%. Over a 50% tumor volume reductions were in 9 patients (56.2%). Pathologic complete remission was observed in 2 patients (12.5%), who showed 72% and 58.5% tumor volume reductions. Patients showing pt and/or pn downstaging patients (N=9) had a 55.9% tumor reductions (14.684.4%), and patients showing no pt and/or pn downstaging (N=7) had 51.8% volume reduction (24.7 79%). Conclusions: Preoeperative CCRT has been thought to be able to decrease tumor size and volume and to increase respectability. However, among our 9 patients who showed over 50% tumor volume reductions, 3 patients did not show any T and N downstaging, which is really important for long-term oncologic outcomes.
