BACKGROUND/AIM: To investigate the impact of inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) for rectal cancer patients with ILN metastasis.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-three patients with rectal cancer underwent NACRT followed by curative surgery between January 2005 and December 2016. Seven patients underwent ILND after NACRT for clinically-positive ILN metastasis (ILND (+) group), while the remaining 36 did not receive ILND for clinically negative ILN metastasis (ILND (-) group). Their outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTS: Only one patient in the ILND (+) group had a local recurrence at six years after surgery. The 5-year recurrence-free survival was 100% and 65.4% in the ILND (+) and ILND (-) groups, respectively (p=0.09), and the 5-year overall survival was 100% and 83.2%, respectively (p=0.32).

CONCLUSION: ILND following NACRT seems effective for rectal cancer patients with ILN metastasis.
