Can we Save the Rectum by Watchful Waiting or TransAnal Surgery Following (Chemo)Radiotherapy Versus Total Mesorectal Excision for Early REctal Cancer?
This trial looks at whether people with early rectal cancer can safely avoid major surgery. Instead of removing the lower bowel, doctors test whether radiotherapy, with or without chemotherapy tablets, can shrink the tumour away completely. This may help patients avoid having a stoma bag and protect their quality of life.

Concordance of Imaging and Pathology Diagnosis of Extranodal Tumour Deposits
This study looks at how well scans and lab tests agree on finding tiny cancer spots outside the main tumour in rectal cancer. We're checking if special mapping during scans can help doctors find these spots more accurately in tissue samples after surgery.
