First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a higher dose of radiation, combined with chemotherapy, can help people with early-stage rectal cancer avoid surgery and keep their rectum. About 162 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard or high-dose radiation. The main goal is to see if the higher dose leads to more people being cancer-free without needing surgery two years later.
