Rectal cancer presents a significant global health challenge. Despite improvements in clinical outcomes, significant disparities persist across Europe. These differences are explained not only by the heterogeneity of risk factors and screening strategies, but also by variations in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, which are highly dependent on medical imaging.
Standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer based on staging MRI is neoadjuvant treatment (NAT), for tumour downsizing and downstaging, followed by total mesorectal excision. In a significant proportion of cases, radical surgery leads to substantial long-term complications like sexual and urinary dysfunction, fecal incontinence, and impairment in daily activities. Given that up to 42% of patients show complete tumor regression at pathology (i.e. pathological complete response pCR), to avoid unnecessary radical surgery, non-operative management has become an attractive alternative when there are no signs of viable tumour after NAT (i.e. clinical complete response cCR). Such patients are candidates for Watch-and-Wait (W&W), an established active surveillance policy in specialized centers worldwide relying on clinical examination, endoscopy and MRI.
On the other hand, W&W carries a risk of local regrowth (persistence of microscopic residual disease despite apparent cCR). Even in expert hands, assessment of tumor response is not perfect and local regrowth based on current selection methods occurs in ~30% of cases. Although deferred surgery is a successful treatment with no apparent negative impact on local disease control, an increased rate of distant metastases has been recently reported.
Therefore, there is a critical unmet clinical need to detect complete responses after NAT and avoid unnecessary surgery with its associated morbidity and quality of life impairment risks, while also improving sensitivity for residual microscopic disease that will result in local regrowth and associated reduced disease-free survival.
Rectal cancer poses a burden not only on healthcare systems, but also on patient well-being. Patients frequently suffer from feelings of isolation and helplessness when faced with unpredicted disease-related situations, given the common difficulties to access high quality information and communicate with attending physicians. As such, there is a clear need to unburden healthcare facilities from unnecessary hospital visits, while improving patient outcomes, engagement, support and care.

População do estudo
Preclinical phase: For patients requiring surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, a surgical consultation will be scheduled as part of routine care. The study will be explained, and an information sheet provided. Participation requires signing the informed consent by the patient and the investigating surgeon.
Clinical phase: When a patient requires an MRI as part of their standard care, the study will be presented during the radiology consultation with an information sheet. If the patient agrees to participate, the informed consent form must be signed by the patient and the investigating physician.
Patients may be included in the study at two possible times: during the MRI performed before neoadjuvant treatment (MRI staging), or during the re-evaluation MRI after neoadjuvant treatment (MRI restaging).

Phase 1 (Preclinical): An ex-vivo analysis of surgical specimens
15 surgical specimens will be collected after surgery following neoadjuvant treatment. They will be imaged using a 3T MRI with advanced sequences, then returned to the pathology department. This ex vivo MRI will not affect sample preparation or preservation. MRI images will be aligned with histological sections using non-linear registration to compare MRI parameters with digital pathology data. This step will help identify MRI biomarkers that differentiate healthy tissue, post-treatment fibrotic tissue, and residual tumor. We will assess whether diffusion MRI and relaxometry measurements can predict pathological outcomes by analyzing parameters such as fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity, and kurtosis, using surgical pathological information when available |
|
|
Phase 2 (Clinical): An in-vivo clinical MRI study.
The same advanced sequences will be added to MRIs performed during routine clinical care: the initial staging MRI before neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, the restaging MRI after treatment completion, and follow-up MRIs for patients managed with a non-operative Watch-and-Wait strategy. For each patient, we will collect imaging data, demographics, medical history, tumor characteristics, treatment details, pathology reports, and clinical follow-up (endoscopy and MRI). All data will be pseudonymized. The second phase involves developing a computational model to predict response to neoadjuvant therapy. A machine learning tool will be designed to predict complete pathological response based on quantitative MRI, standard clinical MRI, and clinical information |
For all patients, questionnaires will be completed:
The following validated questionnaires will be used:
