Locally advanced rectal cancer & total neoadjuvant therapy - Induction vs consolidation chemotherapy

[@khaliddurrani6432]

Another potential advantage of TNT being higher rates of R0 resections and sphincter preservation. The possible pitfalls of TNT are the toxicity associated with modern chemo that may delay surgery or progression of the disease while on chemo radiation.

Thanks for the question. Important point for planning therapy. However, It is different in various trials. Stay tuned for the next part where we discuss all the relevant trials on this Sunday.

F63, Diagnosed with rectal cancer. Completed 25 days chemoradiotherapy. Post therapy MRI result shows favourable response to treatment with minimal residual disease MRTRG2. Can i opt for non surgical care?

[@edusurgclinics]

No. Also that is inadequate information to decide but even minimal residual disease needs to come out.
