About this trial

Prospective phase II clinical study aim to explore the clinical outcome of patients with unresectable locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) treated with re-irradiation by carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT)

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

1) pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma (including mucinous adenocarcinoma and signet-ring cell carcinoma) and LRRC confirmed by biopsy or clinical diagnosis,

2) received a radical operation for their primary tumor and regional lymph nodes,

3) received chemo-radiation or radiation in pelvic before CIRT,

4) received re-irradiation by CIRT after their pelvic radiotherapy.

Disqualifiers

1) received more than once prior radiotherapy in the same treatment field,

2) time to the last radiotherapy was <1 year,

3) space between the lesion to organ at risk (OARs) (bladder or digestive tract) was too close (<5 mm).
