Abstract

We agree with Krzysztof and Magdalena Bujko that a meta-analysis of individual patients' data is needed to resolve whether adjuvant chemotherapy produces worthwhile benefits in patients with rectal cancer who receive preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy.
The QUASAR study does, however, provide no reason to believe that chemotherapy is any more or less effective among patients who also receive radiotherapy.
