ASCO 2023 | What remaining challenges are there in the management of rectal cancer?

Yuichiro Tsukada, MD, National Cancer Center Hospital East, Kashiwa, Japan, discusses unmet needs in the field of rectal cancer. Low-lying rectal cancer historically had few treatment options, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a promising therapeutic modality. Whilst relapse-free survival has improved, local recurrence has remained the same, and more research is needed to ameliorate this. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Congress in Chicago, IL.
