Brief Summary

Short-course radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy may bring revolutionary changes to the preoperative neoadjuvant treatment mode for locally advanced rectal cancer.In view of the shortcomings of the current preoperative neoadjuvant treatment model for locally advanced rectal cancer, we will explore the feasibility of a new model of short-course radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy, and develop a possible optimal plan based on the existing theoretical basis, namely "short-course radiotherapy + PD-L1 monoclonal antibody combined with CAPEOX chemotherapy for 2 cycles", and explore the efficacy and adverse effects of this model. The study will also attempt to explore the characteristics of the treatment beneficiary population, explore the characteristics of the treatment beneficiary population by multi-dimensional tumor and microenvironmental information through multi-omics sequencing analysis, attempt to build an efficacy prediction model, early screening of the treatment beneficiary population for precise treatment, and thus explore a new model of radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy.
