Radiation dose showdown: can more radiation save rectums from surgery?
NCT ID NCT04095299
Summary
This study aims to find out if giving a higher dose of radiation, combined with chemotherapy, is better than the standard dose at helping patients with early-stage rectal cancer avoid having their rectum surgically removed. It will involve 162 patients who are candidates for surgery but want to try a non-surgical approach first. The main goal is to see if the higher dose leads to more patients keeping their full, healthy rectum two years after treatment.
