Can strong chemo alone match standard care for rectal cancer?

NCT ID NCT03875781

Summary

This study is testing whether a three-month course of strong chemotherapy before surgery works as well as the current standard approach of chemotherapy followed by radiation for locally advanced rectal cancer. It will involve 540 patients across France who have rectal cancer that can be surgically removed. The main goal is to see if patients receiving only chemotherapy before surgery have similar three-year survival without cancer progression compared to those getting both treatments.
