Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pathological complete responseTimepoint: After surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the levels of ctDNA at baseline & after the completion of neoadjuvant treatments & correlate it with the pathological response in the surgical specimen specimen. To do NGS at diagnosis on the biopsy.Timepoint: At Baseline & after completion of neoadjuvant treatments before surgery;To assess the quality of life, & patient reported outcomes between the two arms. To conduct a mixed method qualitative study.Timepoint: All patients will be assessed at baseline, prior to surgery & 6 months post-surgery.;Tolerance & toxicityTimepoint: During the course of Neoadjuvant chemotherapy, low dose nivolumab & concurrent radiation
