Colorectal cancer remains one of the most prevalent malignancies in the United States. Improvement in local disease control is seen when 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is used in combination with pelvic irradiation for rectal adenocarcinoma. The frequent overexpression of insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-I-R) in rectal adenocarcinoma suggests that inhibition of the signal transduction pathway may be a novel approach to enhance tumor response. This investigation seeks to define the role of IGF-I-R antagonism, using monoclonal antibody alpha-IR3, in augmenting cytotoxicity to adjuvant chemoradiation therapy for adenocarcinoma of the rectum.
