Abstract

In 1976, the Gastrointestinal Group of the EORTC activated a clinical trial on rectal cancer with the aim of studying the efficacy of high-dose preoperative irradiation therapy (34.5 Gy) as an adjuvant before radical surgery. This was a multicentric prospective phase-III clinical trial.

Trial of the Gastrointestinal Tract Cancer Cooperative Group of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC).

The authors thank Mrs. S. Devaux for her secretarial help.
