Brief summary

This prospective, single-arm study is conducted to investigate the safety and efficacy of Sintilimab combined with hypofractionated radiotherapy in patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/ DNA mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) non-metastatic rectal cancer.

Detailed description

The patients meet the inclusion criteria. After signing the informed consent, they are given radiotherapy 5Gyx5 and sintilimab 200mg ivgtt D1, D15, D29. Radical surgery is performed 6-8 weeks after radiotherapy.
