Description
Gong and co-authors compare two ways to treat rectal cancer that has spread into nearby tissue. The standard path gives drug and radiation treatment before surgery, but it adds toxicity, cost, and sometimes fails. The other path gives one high dose of radiation during surgery, aimed right at the tumor bed. The team reviewed patients treated at Maoming People's Hospital from 2022 to 2024.
One group got long-course radiation plus capecitabine before surgery. The other got low-voltage X-ray treatment during the operation itself. The team compared survival, recurrence, and problems after surgery. The study weighs whether the one-dose approach can match the standard on safety and short-term results.
