Informed patient consent
• Clinical oncologist required!
• Planned operation important• Perineal wound re APER• Bowel funnction re AR
• Erectile dysfunction• Sterility• Small bowel stricture• Pelvic insufficiency fractures
Three key issues
• Pre-operative radiotherapy works – the question is where to define the threshold where radiotherapy is considered
• If surgery first and node positive (irrespective of margin status), post-operative chemoradiation should be considered
• Radiation causes late toxicity

Yorkshire audit
• Network agreed MRI reporting proforma• Includes the MRI T stage and N stage
• SCPRT criteria to agree (predicted CRM-ve)• >2mm or 5mm (unit policy)• N+
• Document if SCPRT given or reasons why not given
• Histopathology
Conclusion
• Identify patients without threatened margins at significant risk of LR
• There is not a definitive answer!
• Share practice
• Prospective audit
Some need 5x5 in the middle!
Its chemorads or nothing!
