Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer has been shown to improve local control and reduce toxicity, as compared to adjuvant CRT. We reported the outcomes of our patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated at National University Hospital, Singapore. ⋯ Our outcomes were comparable to internationally published data, and this treatment regimen remains the standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer in our local population.
