NCT ID NCT07353567
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 298 patients who had surgery for rectal cancer that came back in the same area. The goal was to find out how often the cancer returns again and what factors increase that risk. Researchers tracked long-term survival and identified key risk factors to help guide future treatment decisions.

Inclusion Criteria: * (1). Patients had undergone curative-intent resection for a histologically confirmed primary rectal or rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma. A disease-free interval ≥1 months was required to distinguish subsequent local recurrence from persistent disease; * (2). LRRC located within the true pelvis or at the pelvic brim, confirmed by radiological imaging (e.g., MRI, CT, PET-CT) and/or pathological verification; * (3). Patients who underwent radical salvage surgery (R0/R1) for LRRC. No evidence of residual disease or early second recurrence was observed within 1 months after salvage surgery. * (4). Availability of complete clinicopathological and treatment-related data. Exclusion Criteria: * (1). History of synchronous or metachronous other primary malignancies; * (2). R2 resection for LRRC; * (3). Presence of uncontrollable synchronous distant metastasis at the time of either primary tumor treatment or LRRC diagnosis; * (4). Patients lost to follow-up or lacking essential survival data.
