To investigate the efficacy and prognosis associated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced mucinous rectal cancer (MRC). ⋯ Mucinous rectal cancer is related to a lower response rate to chemoradiotherapy and poorer prognosis compared to NMRC, even when corrected for clinical stage. The poor prognosis in MRC might be associated with poor responsiveness to preoperative chemoradiotherapy.
