| Core Tip |
Locally advanced rectal cancer treatment is evolving from surgery-centric to multimodal strategies, with total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) gaining attention for balancing curability and function. Jabbar et al’s study confirms that TNT-RAPIDO is surgically safe, achieving comparable R0 resection rates to standard chemoradiotherapy while reducing stoma duration and permanent stoma risk. We highlight the study’s contributions to resolving TNT-related uncertainties and propose future directions: (1) Validating findings in multicenter cohorts; (2) Evaluating long-term oncologic outcomes; (3) Integrating patient-reported measures; and (4) Developing personalized regimens. This shift toward holistic care ensures locally advanced rectal cancer treatment prioritizes both survival and quality of life. |
