Summary

This pilot study is testing whether advanced MRI scans and blood tests can help doctors adjust treatment for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if these tools can predict which patients respond well enough to avoid surgery. Forty participants will be followed during their standard pre-surgery treatment to build a better response prediction model.
