NCT ID NCT07292298
First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study is for people with rectal cancer that didn't fully go away after standard chemotherapy and radiation. Instead of moving straight to surgery, doctors will give extra internal radiation (brachytherapy) directly to the remaining tumor. The goal is to see if this can completely eliminate the cancer and allow patients to keep their rectum. About 44 adults will take part, and they will be closely monitored for two years.
