AB In  the  United  States,  rectal  cancer  is  diagnosed  in  approximately  40,000  individuals  annually.1  Although  definitions  vary,  locally  advanced  rectal  cancer  generally  refers  to  patients  with  T3/T4  disease  and/or  positive  lymph  nodes.2  In  patients  with  locally  advanced  rectal  cancer,  treatment  with  surgery  alone  results  in  substantial  risk  of  local  recurrence;  therefore,  multimodality  therapy  is  recommended.
