In the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer, an optimal interval between neoadjuvant therapy and surgery might improve oncological outcomes. Besides, those patients who achieve a good response might benefit from active surveillance, avoiding surgical comorbidities. This optimal interval is yet to be defined. This study will aim to better define the role of time interval between the end of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) and TME in Spanish regions, together with analyzing the importance of restaging MRI and define the basis for implementing a "watch and wait" protocol.
