Who may be able to join
AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with rectal cancer that has been reviewed by a specialist team, and the plan is to perform surgery that preserves the muscle that controls bowel movements (with or without additional treatment before surgery).
Who may not be able to join:
- You have a history of inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, as these conditions can affect bowel function in ways that would make it harder to track results accurately.
- You have dementia or an intellectual disability.
- Your rectal cancer is causing a blockage that requires urgent treatment such as a temporary bowel opening (stoma) or a tube to keep the bowel open (stenting), because there would not be enough baseline information available (confirm with trial site).
