Core Tip Accurately identifying a complete response (CR) in patients diagnosed with locally advanced rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant treatment is the main challenge for adopting the “Watch and Wait” strategy. By combining white light endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound features, we constructed a “surface-to-depth” nomogram achieving an area under the curve of 0.829 (95% confidence interval: 0.748-0.909) to predict CR. This integrated model provides clinicians with a practical, minimally invasive tool to select eligible candidates who might obtain clinic benefit from organ preservation management.
