N1 - PURPOSE: Preoperative high-dose-rate (HDR) endorectal brachytherapy is well tolerated among patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. However, these studies excluded patients who previously received pelvic radiation therapy (RT). Because a favorable toxicity profile has been published for HDR endorectal brachytherapy, we evaluated this technique in patients who have previously received pelvic irradiation.
