Summary

Currently, low concordance (36%) is found between clinical complete response and pathologic complete response in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Probe-based confocal laser endoscopy (pCLE) provides a promising targeted optical biopsy to evaluate the response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The aim of this study is to investigate whether pCLE-targeted optical biopsy can improve the accuracy of preoperative endoscopic biopsy for local rectal scars in rectal cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
