Summary

This study tests a new approach for people with early-stage rectal cancer that hasn't spread to lymph nodes. Instead of standard radiation to the whole pelvis, doctors give a short course of radiation only to the tumor, followed by chemotherapy and two types of immunotherapy. The goal is to shrink the cancer enough that some patients can avoid surgery entirely and keep their rectum. About 52 adults will take part in this phase 2 trial.
