NCT ID NCT07292298
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for people with rectal cancer that didn't fully go away after standard chemotherapy and radiation. Researchers want to see if giving a few extra doses of internal radiation (brachytherapy) can finish off the tumor and let patients keep their rectum instead of needing surgery. About 44 adults will get three weekly outpatient treatments and be monitored for two years.
