Arm 1
Arm 2
Arm 1 includes patients with MSS/pMMR. In this arm, patients receive consolidation chemotherapy after neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRT). The chemotherapy regimens either XELIRI or FOLFIRINOX, and the cycles of chemotherapy depend on patient tumor responses. For patients who reach cCR will enter the "W&W" cohort and omit radical surgery, while those without cCR will receive radical surgery.
Arm 2 includes patients with MSI-H/dMMR status. In this arm, patients receive consolidation immunotherapy of 3 cycles of tislelizumab after nCRT. For patients who reach cCR will enter the "W&W" cohort and omit radical surgery, while those without cCR will receive radical surgery.
