The aim of this study is to find some genetic factors in predicting the sensibility of preoperative chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal carcinoma.
For locally advanced rectal carcinoma,preoperative chemoradiotherapy(CRT) achieved similar overall survival and better local control compared with postoperative therapy,so it was considered to be one of the standard therapy of these patients.But,not every one will be cured,the possible reason is the difference gene expression and mutation status among patients.So,we performed this trial to study the relationship between genetic factors and response of preoperative CRT for locally advanced rectal cancer.

Radiation is given with 5000 cGy in 25 fractions (5 weeks). Concurrent chemotherapy consists of oxaliplatin (50 mg/m2 ) intravenously over 2 h on days 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29, and capecitabine (825 mg/m2 twice day) was given orally on each day of radiation.
