<Revision Summary>
1. Presentation and workup (p.5):
Footnote 2 is new to the page: PET-CT does not supplant a contrast- enhanced diagnostic CT scan. PET-CT should only be used to evaluate an
equivocal finding on a contrast-enhanced CT scan or in patients with strong contraindications to IV contrast.
2. Adjuvant therapy for stage III or unresectable T4 lesion (p.7):
T3(a,b) at middle and high rectum : Transabdominal resection add as an option.
T4 and/or locally unresectableb
ØØ Added “or medically inoperable”.
ØØ The option of “resection contraindicated” added after primary treatment with the treatment options as per active chemotherapy regimens for
advanced disease REC-E.
3. Resectable stage IV disease (p.8):
Primary treatment option of staged or synchronous resection of metastases + rectal lesion removed.
4. Surveillance (p.10):
Consider proctoscopy recommendation modified to every 6 mo x 3-5 y for patients status post LAR or transanal excision.
5. Resectable metachronous metastases (p.12):
“Repeat” neoadjuvant therapy changed to “reinitiate” neoadjuvant therapy.
6. Add TMN classification and 7th AJCC staging st.atement.
7. Add Ufur as option of treatment in stage II, III and IV.

PS: 1. CT should be with IV and oral contrast. Consider abd/pelvic MRI with MRIR contrast plus a non-contrast chest CT if either CT of abd/pelvis is
inadequate or if patient has a contraindication to CT with IV contrast.
2. PET-CT does not supplant a contrast-enhanced diagnostic CT scan. PET-CT should only be used to evaluate an equivocal finding on a
