Neoadjuvant Radiation Therapy in Locally Advanced Colon Cancer: a Cohort Analysis.

Background: A paucity of data exists in the use of neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (NRT) for T4, non-metastatic colon cancer. This study was conducted to determine the effect of NRT on outcomes after resection for T4 colon cancer.

Methods: All patients with non-metastatic resected clinical T4 colon cancer from 2000 to 2012 at a tertiary care center were included.
