The management of rectal cancer has seen significant advances in surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy in recent years. These advances have translated into improved rates of local and distant disease control, survival, and quality of life for these patients. The recent implementation of novel chemotherapeutic and targeted agents in patients with advanced colorectal cancer has led to further improvements in disease-free and overall survival. These radiosensitizing agents are now being studied in combination with radiation therapy in the neoadjuvant therapy of rectal cancer. © The Author(s) 2012.
