This trial illustrates the results of total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer followed by watch-and-wait in case of complete or near-complete clinical response. Patients undergoing radical surgery for tumor regrowth during watch-and -wait had a disease-free survival comparable to patients who underwent radical surgery without ever entering a watch-and-wait program. The results of this trial demonstrate the feasibility of organ preservation in half of the patients receiving total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer.

摘要

This trial illustrates the results of total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer followed by watch-and-wait in case of complete or near-complete clinical response. Patients undergoing radical surgery for tumor regrowth during watch-and -wait had a disease-free survival comparable to patients who underwent radical surgery without ever entering a watch-and-wait program. The results of this trial demonstrate the feasibility of organ preservation in half of the patients receiving total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer.
