New hope for rectal cancer: skipping radiation with chemo-immunotherapy

NCT ID NCT07127497

First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study tests whether a combination of chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) can effectively treat locally advanced rectal cancer without using radiation. About 50 patients with a specific genetic profile (pMMR/MSS) will receive this treatment before surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink or eliminate tumors while helping patients avoid radiation side effects and possibly preserve organ function.
