The management of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) suffered changes thanks to the development of improved surgical procedures, radiation delivery, and chemotherapy. Although treatment options improved individually, the optimal order is still debated. Neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) has been the “golden standard” for locally advanced rectal cancer. There is no common ground in international guidelines on the indications of adjuvant chemotherapy (ADJCHT), with differences between the American, European, and Japanese guidelines. This paper studies the preferences of Romanian oncologists in prescribing ADJCHT. We conducted a single-institution, retrospective study of all nonmetastatic, ECOG 0-1 LARC patients staged II-III who underwent TME and were admitted to the Oncology or Radiotherapy Department of Colțea Clinical Hospital, Bucharest between January 2017 and March 2021. A total of 186 patients were included in the study. A positive correlation was found between ADJCHT and each of the following: (y)pT > 2, (y)pN > 0, and the presence of perineural invasion (PNI+). A strong positive correlation was found between ADJCHT and the presence of at least one risk factor: (y)pT > 2, (y)pN > 0, PNI+, lymphovascular invasion, positive margins, or tumor grade > 1. Tumor downstaging decreased the risk of metastases in the first 2 years and was associated with the use of neoadjuvant radiotherapy, while adding neoadjuvant chemotherapy increased the chance of nodal downstaging. ADJCHT practice for LARC in Romania follows either NCCN or ESMO guidelines, at the discretion of the oncologist, due to the lack of national guideline.
