NCT05316103

Brief Summary

Currently, low concordance (36%) is found between clinical complete response and pathologic complete response in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Probe-based confocal laser endoscopy (pCLE) provides a promising targeted optical biopsy to evaluate the response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The aim of this study is to investigate whether pCLE-targeted optical biopsy can improve the accuracy of preoperative endoscopic biopsy for local rectal scars in rectal cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Accuracy of pCLE-targeted optical biopsy

    The investigators will use pCLE-targeted optical biopsy for local rectal scars in rectal cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and compare the pathological diagnosis between optical biopsy and surgically resected specimens.

    7 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of pCLE targeted optical biopsy

    7 days

  • Complications of biopsy

    7 days

Study Arms (1)

Endoscopic biopsy and probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy biopsy

EXPERIMENTAL

In this study , endoscopic biopsy and pCLE-targeted optical biopsy will be successively performed for local rectal scars in rectal cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

Device: Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy targeted optical biopsy

Interventions

After intravenous injection of fluorescein sodium, pCLE-based targeted optical biopsy will be performed.
