New ultrasound technique may help some rectal cancer patients avoid major surgery
NCT ID NCT03068403
First seen May 24, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026
Summary
This study explored whether a special ultrasound (dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound) can predict how well rectal cancer responds to chemotherapy and radiation. The goal is to identify good responders who might safely avoid major surgery and instead have a less invasive procedure or no surgery at all. Only 2 people took part, so results are very early and not conclusive.
