Summary

This study is for people with low rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery. Participants receive chemotherapy plus an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) before any surgery. If the tumor completely disappears after this treatment, they may avoid surgery and just be watched closely. If not, they will have standard surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can safely allow more people to keep their rectum.
