Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary endpoint is the pathological tumour response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy per CMS subtype.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
•Pathological tumour response (Modified Ryan scheme; Ki-67, Caspase-3 and cytostatic-cytotoxic effects on HE-stained tissue slides) <br>•Radiological tumour response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy per CMS subtype. <br>•Recurrence free survival at two and three years <br>•Therapy-induced CMS differences. <br><br>•Prognostic and predictive value of cytotoxic lymphocytes (CytoLym) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) infiltration scores. <br>•Diagnostic accuracy of ctDNA measurements for monitoring treatment response to neoadjuvant treatment and detection of residual disease. <br>•Percentages of pathological complete (R0), pathological microscopic incomplete (R1) and pathologically macroscopic incomplete (R2) resections. <br>•Surgical complication rate (i.e. wound infections and anastomotic leak)<br>
