First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at 100 adults with advanced rectal cancer who received total neoadjuvant therapy (a combination of chemotherapy and radiation before surgery). Researchers want to see whether the response in the lymph nodes or the primary tumor better predicts how long patients stay cancer-free and survive overall. The goal is to improve how doctors assess treatment success.
