NCT ID NCT07536321
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 46 people treated for stage III rectal cancer to see if PET-CT scans can help doctors make better treatment decisions during routine follow-up. Participants will already be getting these scans as part of their care and will be tracked for 5 years. The goal is to learn how useful the scans are for spotting problems and predicting outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that PET-CT scans are useful for deciding next steps in colorectal cancer follow-up care.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at scans, not new therapies, so it may not change practice directly.
