Overview

Brief Summary

This is a single arm phase II study to explore the 3y LRFS and safety for high-risk early rectal cancer after local excision with short-course radiotherapy and chemo-immunotherapy.

Detailed Description

A total of 60 patients with high-risk pathologic stage pT1 or pT2 cancer after local excision but refused radical surgery will be included. Eligibility criteria include a histological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma located ≤7 cm from the anal verge, pT1 after local excision of the primary rectal cancer, with one of the high-risk features including margin positivity/very close margin (\<1mm) at time of local excision, depth of invasion \>1 mm or SM3 invasion (submucosal invasion to the lower third of the submucosal level), high grade or poorly differentiated, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, tumour budding, or pT2 tumor. They will receive 5\*5Gy short-course radiotherapy, followed by 4 cycles of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) chemotherapy and PD-1 antibody.
