The Effects of Neoadjuvant Tislelizumab Combined With Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced MSS Rectal Cancer

Prior treatment

• Cannot tolerate chemotherapy or immunotherapy, such as but not limited to bone marrow suppression.
• Peripheral sensory neuropathy, unable to receive oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy.
• Continuous use of glucocorticoids for more than 3 days within 1 month prior to signing the informed consent form, or having comorbidities requiring the use of glucocorticoid therapy.

Other illness

• Early rectal cancer (T1-2N0M0); The lower margin of the tumor was less than 5cm from the anus and T4. APR(combined abdominal perineal resection) is required;
• Multifocal colorectal cancer.
• Tumor obstruction or high risk of obstruction, bleeding, and/or perforation requiring emergency surgery or stent placement.
• History of malignant tumors, except for basal cell carcinoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma, and various in situ cancers.
• Acute exacerbation of important organ diseases (such as but not limited to COPD, coronary heart disease, and renal insufficiency) and/or severe acute infectious diseases (such as but not limited to hepatitis, pneumonia, and myocarditis), ASA score \> 3 points.
• Mental disorders, illiteracy, or language communication barriers that prevent the understanding of the study protocol.

Other

• Unable to undergo enhanced CT examination
• Pregnancy or lactation.
• Refused to participate in this study.
• Other situations in which the researcher deems unsuitable for this study.

• Age ≥18 years old and ≤70 years old.
• Pathologically diagnosed MSS ((confirmed by microsatellite stable detection or next-generation target sequencing) or (confirmed by immunohistochemistry)) colon adenocarcinoma.
• The lower edge of the tumor is less than 12cm from the anus as measured by colonoscopy and MRI,or TRUS.
• It was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or intracavitary ultrasound of the rectum as T3-4 or N+, and M0 by enhanced CT.
• The ECOG physical status score is 0-1.
• Life expectancy is expected to be more than 1 year.
• First diagnosis, no previous anti-tumor treatment received, and no chemotherapy contraindications.
• Appropriate organ function is defined as follows: Hemoglobin level ≥ 90g/L, Neutrophil count ≥ 1.5×10\^9/L, Platelet count ≥ 75×10\^9/L, Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5× the upper limit of normal (UNL), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2× UNL, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3× UNL, Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5× UNL.
• Informed consent, able to understand the study protocol and willing to participate in the study, and will provide written informed consent.
