Brief Summary: The SHAPERS study is a multicentre, open-label, randomised, pragmatic clinical trial, comparing standard-of-care neoadjuvant treatment options for older (i.e., ≥70 years) subjects with high-risk stage II and stage III rectal cancer.
Detailed Description: The SHAPERS study is a multicentre, open-label, randomised, pragmatic clinical trial, comparing standard-of-care neoadjuvant treatment options for older (i.e., ≥70 years) subjects with high-risk stage II and stage III rectal cancer.

Subjects meeting all eligibility criteria will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to either the conventional arm or the TNT arm (The study design is shown in figure 3.1 and 3.2).

Conventional arm consists of:

* SCRT (5 fractions of 5 Gy), followed by
* Surgery (according to the principles of TME) or watch \& wait, followed by
* Optional adjuvant chemotherapy OR
* LCCRT (25-28 fractions of 1.8-2.0 Gy each +/- a boost to the primary tumour and involved lymph nodes, for a total of 50-56 Gy of radiation combined with either continuous infusion fluorouracil or capecitabine) followed by
* Surgery (according to the principles of TME) or watch \& wait, followed by
* Optional adjuvant chemotherapy

TNT arm Different treatment regimens can be used in the TNT arm including Rapido, Rapido light, OPRA INCT-CRT or OPRA CRT-CNCT. The regimen to use will be decided by the investigator and will need to be declared before randomisation. No switch between regimens is allowed during the study treatment period.

The Rapido regimen consists of:

* SCRT (5 fractions of 5 Gy), followed by
* Up to 18 weeks of oxaliplatin based chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX), followed by
* Surgery (according to the principle of TME) or "watch \& wait".

The Rapido light regimen consists of:

* SCRT (5 fractions of 5 Gy), followed by
* Up to 12 weeks of oxaliplatin based chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX), followed by
* Surgery (according to the principle of TME) or "watch \& wait".

The OPRA with induction chemotherapy (INCT-CRT) regimen, consists of:

* Up to 16 weeks of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX), followed by
* CRT (25-28 fractions of 1.8-2.0 Gy each +/- a boost to the primary tumour and involved lymph nodes, for a total of 50-56 Gy of radiation combined with either continuous infusion fluorouracil or capecitabine) followed by
* Surgery (according to the principle of TME) or "watch \& wait"

The OPRA with consolidation chemotherapy (CRT-CNCT) regimen consists of:

* CRT (25-28 fractions of 1.8-2.0 Gy each +/- a boost to the primary tumour and involved lymph nodes, for a total of 50-56 Gy of radiation combined with either continuous infusion fluorouracil or capecitabine) followed by
* Up to 16 weeks of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX), followed by
* Surgery (according to the principle of TME) or "watch \& wait".
