Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:(1)Age: 18 ~ 70 years old; sex is not limited. (2)Patients with stage II/III rectal cancer staged under MRI or endoscopic ultrasonography and have at least one risk factor: cT4a-b(resectable);cT3c-d with EMVI+ (Extramural venous invasion);cN2;MRF+ (MRI in evaluating the mesorectal fascia).(According to the 2010 AJCC cancer staging system, the seventh edition). The preoperative T stage is referred to endoscopic ultrasonography or rectal MRI. The N stage is referred to abdominal CT. The M stage is referred to abdominal and thoracic CT.

Blood routine examination: HB ≥9g/dL, WBC ≥ 3.5/4.0×109/L,PLT≥ 100×109/L
Biochemical examination:Crea and BIL ≤ 1.0 upper normal limit(ULN),ALT and AST≤ 2.5 upper normal limit(ULN).
(9)Not allergic to 5-Fu or Platinum. (10)The site of radiotherapy had not previously received radiation. (11)If female and of childbearing potential, have a negative result on a pregnancy test performed a maximum of 7 days before initiation of study treatment. If female and of childbearing potential, or if male, agree to use adequate contraception (eg, abstinence, intrauterine device, oral contraceptive, or double-barrier method) based on the judgment of the investigator or a designated associate from the date on which the ICF (Informed Consent Form) is signed until 8 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
(12)Participants are volunteered to participate in this study, sign informed consent, good compliance, cooperation with follow-up.
Exclusion Criteria:(1)Have had prior or concurrent cancer distinct in primary site or histology EXCEPT for curatively treated cervical cancer in situ, Basal cell carcinoma of skin.
(2)Pregnant or lactating women. (3)Patients with severe cardiovascular disease and poorly controlled diabetes. (4)Mental disorder. (5)Severe infection. (6)Patients who can't finish MRI examination. (7)Patients were treated with thrombolytic therapy and anticoagulant therapy, either with bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy, or aneurysm, stroke, transient ischemic attack, arteriovenous malformation in the past year.

Active Comparator
Total neoadjuvant treatment
concurrent chemoradiotherapy group
The interventions of experimental group include 1 cycle of CAPOX before radiotherapy; and then start concurrent chemoradiotherapy with CAPOX regimen (capecitabine: 825mg/m2, bid, 5d/w; oxaliplatin, 130mg/m2, D1, q3w) for 2 cycles followed by 3 cycles of CAPOX 2-3 weeks after the completion of radiotherapy. Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT/VMAT) was used for radiotherapy, and the dose was 50-50.4Gy/25-28f, 1.8-2.0Gy/d, 5f/w. The TME operation will be given 3-4 weeks after the end of the total neoadjuvant treatment.
The interventions of control group is standard preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The radiotherapy target areas and dosage are the same as group TNT. During radiotherapy, only oral capecitabine will be delivered and capecitabine dose was 825mg/m2, bid, 5d/w. The TME surgery will be performed 6-8 weeks after the end of concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Then, patients will receive another 6 cycles of CAPOX.
