New MRI technique may tell if rectal cancer is cured before surgery
NCT ID NCT06719414
First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special type of MRI, called amide proton transfer-weighted imaging, can accurately predict if rectal cancer has completely disappeared after chemotherapy and radiation. Researchers will scan 320 people before surgery and compare the scan results to the actual tumor tissue removed during surgery. The goal is to see if this imaging method can reliably identify patients who no longer have cancer, potentially allowing some to avoid surgery in the future.
