Trial suggests non-surgical rectal cancer options
The clinical study indicates that patients with early-stage rectal cancer may be successfully treated using chemotherapy and radiotherapy instead of the traditional surgery, which involves removing the rectum and creating a colostomy bag. This approach reduces severe side effects and eliminates the need for major surgery. The results showed that approximately 80% of patients treated this way were able to avoid surgery for up to 12 months, with follow-up data extending to 30 months. Long-term results are expected to be published in 2027. The alternative treatment aims to preserve the organs and minimize complications while effectively controlling the cancer. It demonstrated that most patients could avoid serious damage associated with conventional surgery, such as colostomy, achieving excellent treatment outcomes.
