Brief Summary: RATIONALE Surgery to remove the tumor may be an effective treatment for rectal cancer It is not yet known whether one type of surgery is more effective than another for rectal cancer

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two types of surgery in treating patients who have rectal cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare local and distant recurrences in patients with mid-rectal cancer treated with wide mesorectal surgical excision with straight colorectal anastomosis versus total mesorectal surgical excision with colonic J pouch coloanal anastomosis
Compare the functional physiological and anatomical outcomes in these patients treated with these two surgical procedures
Compare disease-free survival and overall survival in these patients treated with these two surgical procedures

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to treatment center Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients undergo surgical resection with a wide mesorectal excision followed by a straight colorectal anastomosis
Arm II Patients undergo surgical resection with a total mesorectal excision followed by a colonic J pouch coloanal anastomosis Patients then receive a temporary ileostomy which is closed 6 weeks later

Patients are followed at 6 weeks every 4-6 months for 2 years every 6 months for 2 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A minimum of 800 patients 400 per arm will be accrued for this study
