In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Background: Colorectal cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Taiwan, with rectal cancer accounting for approximately 27% of all cases. Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT), which consists of chemotherapy and radiation therapy delivered before surgery, has become the standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer. However, there is currently no reliable method for predicting the response to TNT or the occurrence of radiation proctitis, a common side effect of treatment. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the metabolomic profiles of individuals with locally advanced rectal cancer undergoing TNT and to identify a panel of metabolites that can predict treatment response and toxicities. Methods: A prospective cohort study will be conducted to enrol patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who are scheduled to receive TNT. Blood, urine, tissue, and faecal samples wi
