Long-term organ preservation is achievable in half of rectal cancer patients treated with TNT. ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JC…

Congrats to all of the OPRA investigators and Julio Garcia Aguilar - 5-year data presented today by Floris Verheij Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center ; LCRT --> FOLFOX: higher rates of organ preservation, lower rates of local regrowth AND no decrement in oncologic outcomes ASCO; #ASCO23 ASCRS_1

Important message. The key prognostic factor is obtaining (and sustaining) a clinical CR, independently of the neoadjuvant treatment or the timing! Great Teamwork!

Another great IWWD paper! Congrats Sofieke and all the Team!
Important evidence for everyone involved in W&W practice

Interesting results from the multicenter IWWD - the risk of local regrowth over time and influence of risk factors (baseline T-status & RT-dose) among cCR after WW just out in lancet oncology!

Very proud of our 'IWWD' project! This is truly a great collaborative work!
Congratulations to the Consortium
