Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study evaluate the addition of Irinotecan in neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Half of participants will receive capecitabine alone together with neoadjuvant CRT, followed by a cycle of XELOX, while the other will receive capecitabine and irinotecan during CRT, followed by a cycle of XELIRI. All participants will be scheduled to receive surgery 6-8 weeks after the completion of CRT, then 5 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy of XELOX.
