 Summary: 
 Diarrhea was the most frequently reported severe adverse event in the treatment regime of
pre-operative sequential short-course radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy (so called
total neo-adjuvant treatment).
This study therefore investigates the benefit of on-couch adaptation for locally advanced
rectal cancer patients undergoing this treatment regime. 
 Detailed description: 
 This is a prospective single-arm study investigating the benefit of on-couch adaptation
for locally advanced rectal cancer patients prescribed with pre-operative sequential
short-course radiotherapy (RT) followed by Oxaliplatin-combined chemotherapy (mFOLFOX(6)
or CAPOX). On-couch adaptation, where the radiation dose is tailored to the anatomy of
the patient at each radiotherapy session. Firstly, the study will investigate if on-couch
adaptation result in less gastro-intestinal adverse events, secondly it will reveal if
this possible reduction lead to more patients being able to fulfill all cycles of
prescribed chemotherapy. 
 Criteria for eligibility: 
 Criteria: 
  
 Inclusion Criteria:

     presenting at least one of these criteria in addition to involvement of the pelvic
     sidewall lymph nodes (PSW) can optionally be considered.
  -  ECOG status ≤ 1

Exclusion Criteria:
  -  Previous rectal cancer treatment
  -  Previous irradiation to the treatment area e.g. prostate cancer
  -  Hip prosthesis
  -  Contraindications to MRI
  -  Pregnancy
  -  Abnormal DPYD genotype
  -  Known contraindication to 5-FU, Capecitabine or Oxaliplatin as judged by the
     investigators
