First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving extra internal radiation (brachytherapy) to rectal cancer patients who still have some tumor after standard treatment can make the cancer disappear and avoid the need for surgery. About 44 adults will receive three weekly outpatient treatments. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and improves organ preservation rates.
