Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Comparative analysis of the clinical efficacy between primary Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with TME surgery for low-risk locally advanced rectal cancer. Randomly enrolling eligible patients into either the control group receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with TME surgery or the experimental group receiving primary TME surgery, and subsequently comparing the clinical outcomes of the two groups

9. patients and their families will be willing to participate in this study and provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients with concurrent other malignancies or a history of malignant tumors in the past;
2. Patients with intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, intestinal bleeding, or other conditions requiring emergency surgery;
3. Patients with tumor invasion into the external sphincter or levator ani muscles, or involvement of adjacent organs necessitating combined organ resection;

9. Patients with a history of severe mental illness;
10. Pregnant or lactating women;
11. Patients with uncontrolled infections before surgery;
12. Patients with other clinical or laboratory conditions, as determined by the investigator, that render them unsuitable for participation in this trial.
