New scanner aims to spare rectal cancer patients unnecessary surgery
NCT ID NCT04339374
Summary
This study is testing a new imaging device that combines ultrasound and light to create detailed pictures of rectal tumors. The goal is to help doctors more accurately tell which patients have no cancer left after initial treatment and can safely avoid major surgery. About 90 patients who have completed initial treatment for rectal cancer will have their tumors scanned with the new device, and the results will be compared to standard methods to see if it improves decision-making.
