Summary

This study tests whether combining an immunotherapy drug (serplulimab) with chemotherapy (CAPEOX) and an anti-inflammatory drug (celecoxib) can shrink locally advanced rectal cancer before surgery. It includes 50 adults whose tumors are a common type that often doesn't respond well to immunotherapy alone. The goal is to see if this mix can make the cancer disappear or shrink significantly, improving chances of successful surgery.
