Summary

This study tests whether giving a mix of immunotherapy (PD-1 blocker and IL-2) plus chemotherapy before surgery can shrink tumors more effectively in people with locally advanced rectal cancer. About 130 adults with a specific type of rectal cancer (MSS/pMMR) will take part. The goal is to see if this approach leads to higher rates of tumor shrinkage or complete disappearance before surgery.
