Non-Operative Management (NOM) in Rectal Cancer: Current Evidence and Future Directions

Year: 2025

Type: reference-entry

Abstract: Rectal cancer has become a significant health concern in current years, but there are very effective current neo-adjuvant treatment modalities which can result in the complete disappearance of the disease without surgery, which is often associated with severe post-surgical sequelae. Therefore, a significant effort has been made to identify the subset of patients who can avoid surgery and to investigate the long-term oncologic and functional results associated with the Non-Operative Management of such a disease.
