Summary

This study is building a model using patient data (like scans and gut bacteria) to see who responds so well to initial therapy that they might not need surgery. It involves 869 adults with stage II/III rectal cancer. The goal is to help doctors choose the best timing for surgery or safely adopt a 'watch-and-wait' approach to preserve organ function.
