Core Tip	The traditional 6-wk interval between chemoradiation and surgery in the treatment of rectal cancer was based primarily on a single publication. There has been a trend in recent years to prolong this interval based on studies showing that it may be advantageous in terms of tumor downstaging and pathologic complete response, without increasing surgical difficulty or complications. The data so far are derived largely from retrospective studies using a wide variation of treatments. Further investigations with a higher level of evidence are required to definitively resolve this issue.
