Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with mFOLFIRINOX followed by chemoradiotherapy improves survival in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer

A recently unveiled long-term follow-up analysis of the UNICANCER-PRODIGE 23 study indicates that "neoadjuvant chemotherapy with mFOLFIRINOX followed by chemoradiotherapy improved overall survival and confirmed long-term disease-free survival and metastatic-free survival" in rectal adenocarcinoma patients. According to the UNICANCER-PRODIGE 23 study, patients receiving neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX had a 31% reduction in cancer recurrence.
