First seen Mar 20, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study is for people with early-stage rectal cancer. It tests whether using chemoradiotherapy (a combination of chemotherapy and radiation) can completely eliminate the tumor, allowing patients to safely avoid surgery and keep their rectum. Participants can choose between standard surgery or the chemoradiotherapy approach, followed by close monitoring. The goal is to see if this less invasive option is safe and effective for controlling the cancer long-term.
