First seen Mar 23, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study compares two chemotherapy approaches for people with high-risk locally advanced rectal cancer. One group gets a stronger three-drug combo (FOLFOXIRI) before chemoradiation, while the other gets a standard two-drug combo (CAPOX/FOLFOX). The goal is to see if the stronger combo leads to more complete tumor disappearance, better quality of life, and improved long-term outcomes, even though it may cause more side effects. About 394 adults will take part.
