Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Major Pathological Response (MPR)
Up to 5 years

The objective is to achieve high-quality or "deep" responses to treatment (measurable pathologic response, MPR) that are sufficient to enable surgical de-escalation (less extensive surgery) or response-adaptive, function-preserving surgery (tailoring the surgical approach to preserve organ structure and function while maintaining oncologic safety).
