Summary

This study looks at whether a combination of radiation and chemotherapy can cure low rectal cancer, allowing patients to avoid surgery. About 108 people with early-stage rectal tumors will receive this treatment and be followed for two years to see if the cancer stays away. The goal is to confirm that this approach works as well in multiple hospitals as it has in single-center studies.
