| Core Tip |
This letter highlights real-world data showing that Rectal Cancer and Preoperative Induction Therapy Followed by Dedicated Operation (RAPIDO)-style total neoadjuvant therapy does not appear to increase surgical difficulty or early postoperative morbidity compared with standard long-course chemoradiotherapy. Despite prolonged intervals before surgery, key oncologic and technical metrics - such as R0 resection, total mesorectal excision completeness, and complication rates - were maintained, while stoma-related outcomes may even improve. These findings offer reassurance as total neoadjuvant therapy becomes increasingly integrated into management of locally advanced rectal cancer and underscore the need for future prospective studies incorporating objective measures of operative complexity. |
