Brief summary

This study aims to explore the optimal number of cycles of PD-1 monotherapy required at minimum, under the premise of ensuring pathological complete response (pCR) among patients with dMMR/MSI-H rectal cancer. Participants will receive preoperative monotherapy with PD-1 antibodies, with regular reassessments every 2 cycles. Surgical intervention will be performed if clinical complete response (cCR) is achieved. Researchers will compare the pathological complete response rates, adverse reactions, and three-year event-free survival rates across different treatment cycles.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Three-year event-free survival2028.09Three-year event-free survival (EFS) is a medical metric used in oncology to evaluate the duration over which patients with a particular cancer diagnosis remain free from any cancer-related events, such as disease progression, recurrence, or death from the cancer, within a three-year period following the initiation of treatment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pathological complete response,pCR2026.09Pathological complete response (pCR) is a term used in oncology to describe the absence of any viable tumor cells in the resected tissue specimen following treatment, typically neoadjuvant therapy (such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy) prior to surgery.
