NCT ID NCT07200141
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a higher dose of radiation (58.75 Gy) given before surgery can help more people with locally advanced rectal cancer achieve a complete response (no cancer left) compared to the standard dose (50 Gy). About 156 adults aged 18-79 will receive radiation plus chemotherapy, then either surgery or a watch-and-wait approach. The goal is to improve tumor control and possibly avoid surgery.
