Zapping cancer during surgery: new rectal cancer trial underway
NCT ID NCT05877352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a single dose of radiation directly to the tumor area during surgery is feasible for people with advanced or recurrent rectal cancer. About 31 participants will be randomly assigned to receive standard surgery, surgery plus a standard radiation dose, or surgery plus a higher radiation dose. The goal is to see if this approach can be successfully delivered and studied further, not yet to prove it works better.
