Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 5-fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing and also as a radiosensibilisant. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. 5-fluorouracil may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Oral 5-fluorouracil is more convenient for ambulatory patients. Giving UFT (Tegafur and Uracil) with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so it can be removed.
PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying how well giving UFT with radiation therapy works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for operable rectal cancer.

| Official Title: | Trial UFT/RT Randomized Multicenter Phase III Randomized Trial Testing Ftorafur (UFT) Associated With Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy Versus Radiotherapy Alone in Rectal Adenocarcinoma |
- Compare the rate of pathologic complete response of the primary tumor in patients with operable rectal cancer receiving preoperative chemoradiotherapy versus patients receiving radiotherapy alone
- Compare endoscopic ultrasonographic response in patients with operable rectal cancer receiving preoperative chemoradiotherapy versus patients receiving radiotherapy alone.
- Compare quality of life (Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 Items [QLQ-C 30])
- Compare the rate of sphincter conservation alone.
- Compare the safety of the chemoradiotherapy regimen to radiotherapy alone
- Compare the rate of resectability with negative resection margins in patients treated with this two regimen.
- Compare recurrence free survival and disease free survival
- Compare overall survival
