Incidence of Complete Resection
13 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: approx 1 year

Evaluate the toxicity of induction FOLFOX and subsequent infusional 5-FU or capecitabine/radiation. Results show number of patients who experienced a SAE. This does not mean all SAEs were deemed related to treatment. •Secondary efficacy measures include the clinical response rate, as measured endorectal ultrasound or pelvic MRI, and incidence and severity of toxicities seen during the various phases of study treatment, including treatment delays, bleeding and post-op complications. Each visit will have a toxicity assessment completed
