Organ preservation was achieved in nearly half of patients with locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma using TNT and a selective WW approach without compromising DFS. Delivering chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy (CRT-CNCT) led to higher organ preservation rates than induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy (INCT-CRT).
Organ preservation was achieved in nearly half of patients with locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma using TNT and a selective WW approach without compromising disease-free survival. Delivering chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy (CRT-CNCT) led to higher organ preservation rates than induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy (INCT-CRT).
