Local excision versus total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer patients with clinical complete or near-complete response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy
Patients who achieve either clinical complete or near-complete response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy are suitable candidates for local excision. The local excision group demonstrated superior short-term and functional outcomes, and the oncological outcomes were not compromised.
