New radiation technique may help rectal cancer patients keep their rectum
NCT ID NCT02505750
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special type of internal radiation (contact X-ray brachytherapy) is better than standard external radiation at helping people with early-stage rectal cancer avoid surgery. About 148 adults with small, early rectal tumors will receive standard chemoradiation followed by one of the two boost radiation methods. The goal is to see if more patients can keep their rectum and avoid a permanent colostomy three years after treatment.
