Main aspects comprise (i) the use of total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancers with high-risk features, (ii) treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with a low risk for local recurrence, (iii) immunotherapy using dostarlimab in patients with MSI high/dMMR rectal cancer, as well as (iv) the implementation of organ sparing treatment concepts.
