Summary
This study tests a new approach for people with a common type of locally advanced rectal cancer (MSS/pMMR). Instead of standard radiation, participants receive a combination of chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 antibody) before surgery. The goal is to shrink the tumor and reduce the risk of cancer returning, while avoiding radiation-related side effects like bowel problems and poor anal function. The trial enrolls 30 adults aged 18-75 with stage cT3-4 or node-positive rectal cancer.
