This study aims to utilise a real-world data platform to integrate multi-omics data-including radiomics, gut microbiota, pathological quality control and liquid biopsy-to construct a multidimensional predictive model for the efficacy of rectal cancer treatment following neoadjuvant therapy. By integrating multimodal data, the study aims to accurately assess the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy and identify patients suitable for a 'watch-and-wait' strategy, thereby achieving tumour control and preserving organ function without the need for surgery. Furthermore, it seeks to provide scientific evidence for the efficacy of the 'watch-and-wait' strategy and the selection of optimal timing for surgery, whilst validating the model's effectiveness and assessing its clinical feasibility through prospective clinical trials.
1. Optimisation and predictive modelling of immunotherapy combined with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy Through real-world studies, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy combined with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, focusing on comparing outcomes with traditional chemoradiotherapy regimens to optimise neoadjuvant treatment protocols. By integrating radiomics and molecular subtyping data, we will develop a deep learning model to predict the rate of pathological complete response, thereby accurately forecasting treatment outcomes for patients. This model can further optimise personalised treatment decisions, enhance the effectiveness of organ-preservation strategies, and ultimately reduce surgical trauma for patients. 2. A Treatment Efficacy Assessment System Combining Multi-omics Data with Artificial Intelligence Integrate multi-omics data (such as molecular subtyping, radiomics, and pathological assessment) with artificial intelligence technology to establish a treatment efficacy assessment system. Utilise deep learning models to analyse pre- and post-treatment imaging data and pathological samples, thereby achieving precise efficacy assessment.

RECRUITINGTo compare the complete response rates across different treatments.
Compare the complete response rates (including pathological complete response \[pCR\] and clinical complete response \[cCR\]) between a neoadjuvant regimen combining chemoradiotherapy with immunotherapy and the traditional neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy regimen, in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
Time frame: Post-neoadjuvant Therapy Efficacy Assessment Time Point (within 8-12 weeks after radiotherapy completion)
Safety profile
Adverse Events (AEs): Type, incidence, severity, and relationship to the study treatment. Severity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0 (NCI-CTCAE v5.0).
Time frame: 20 weeks after the first radiotherapy session
Therapy Tolerability
The proportions of patients with dose interruption, dose reduction, and treatment discontinuation during the neoadjuvant treatment period, all due to treatment-related toxicity.
Time frame: 20 weeks after the first radiotherapy session
Disease-Free Survival (DFS)
Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is a key endpoint (a measure of outcome) used primarily in oncology clinical trials, especially for evaluating adjuvant or curative treatments.
Time frame: within 5 years after completion of neoadjuvant therapy
