Summary

This study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (QL1706) to standard chemoradiation can help shrink advanced rectal cancer more effectively. About 108 adults with stage 2 or 3 rectal cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard treatment or the standard treatment plus immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the new combination leads to a complete disappearance of the cancer, potentially allowing some patients to avoid surgery.
