Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
With 50 patients included, this trial would be the largest pilot study evaluating the value of MRI PET in locally advanced rectal cancer. On the other hand, it would be the only pilot study performing several MRI PET during neoadjuvant treatment. Presumably, the response assessed at the 2nd MRI PET (before cycle 4 or induction chemotherapy) would be predictive of the overall response at the end of neoadjuvant treatment. Then, it would be possible to predict precociously the tumor response.

- Description of the correlation between the PET-MRI changes after neo-adjuvant treatment and the histological response after surgery in terms of metabolic criteria.
- timeFrame
- At the surgery
- description
- The purpose of this study is to determine predictive parameters for response to the first phase of treatment by accurately identifying the characteristics of tumors that have responded or not to chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy. Metabolic criteria will be measured with the SUVmax values that will be determined on the 4 PET-MRI scans.
