NCT05109130

Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the changes of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) at different time points in rectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic or transanal endoscopic radical resection. Our secondary purpose is to explore the effects of perioperative circulating tumor cells on tumor recurrence and metastasis.
