Modified long-course radiation and chemo with immunotherapy for rectal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan involving radiation, chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) for people with a specific type of high-risk rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor before surgery.
