Summary

This study tests a new approach for people with a common type of locally advanced rectal cancer. It combines low-dose radiation, an immunotherapy drug (pucotenlimab), and chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to shrink or eliminate the tumor, possibly avoiding surgery if the cancer disappears completely. About 50 adults will participate to see if this combination is safe and effective.
