Dynamic Multi-omics Integration Model to Predict Neoadjuvant Therapy Response in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

The goal of this observational study is to establish a dynamic multi-omics integration model for predicting pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant treatment in locally advanced (T3-4NxM0) rectal cancer, providing support for subsequent patient selection for the watch-and-wait strategy. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the predictive value of this model to assess individual achievement of pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant treatment? Eligible patients will be prospectively enrolled, and the clinical features of their pre-neoadjuvant treatment, during-treatment, and post-treatment preoperative will be collected and annotated.
