Surgery-Free future for rectal cancer? study tests 'Watch-and-Wait' approach

NCT ID NCT07260526

Summary

This study is testing whether some rectal cancer patients who respond very well to chemotherapy and radiation can safely avoid surgery. Instead of having their rectum removed, these patients would enter a 'watch-and-wait' program with close monitoring. The goal is to preserve normal bowel function while achieving similar cancer control outcomes.
