The study aims to compare the effects of chemoradiation versus radical surgery in treating retro-peritoneal or para-aortic lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer. By prolonging patients' progression-free survival, local control rate and overall survival, investigators can conclude the best regimen for colorectal cancer patients.

The retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy includes all lymph, fat, and connective tissue in the retroperitoneal space.
Radiation therapy is highly appropriate, based on the characteristics of the lesion and the surrounding critical organs, and select IMRT or stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT).

RECRUITINGProgression-free survival
The length of time during and after the treatment of a disease, such as cancer, that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse. In a clinical trial, measuring the progression-free survival is one way to see how well a new treatment works. Also called PFS.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of disease progressed for any reason, assessed up to 5 years
overall survival
The length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for a disease, such as cancer, that patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive. In a clinical trial, measuring the overall survival is one way to see how well a new treatment works. Also called OS.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
local control rate
no recurrence of the retroperitoneal or paraaortic lymph node region.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of disease recurrece, assessed up to 5 years
