Feasibility of Non-Operative Management of Rectal Cancer in a Rural Population (NCT04245683)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is an observational research study. Patients with rectal cancer can choose different courses of treatment. This study will follow these patients over the course of approximately six years, depending on their treatment. Patients will be monitored through clinic visits and survey assessments to see how they do, how they feel regarding their treatment choices, and their outcomes. The surveys will analyze the impact of the patients' treatment choices, as well as patient adherence, in a rural setting.
