Aurora: Enhanced radiotherapy for rectal cancer content
This trial will test whether radiotherapy can be made more effective for people with some types of advanced bowel cancer. The research will find out if new technology can be used to increase the damage done to cancer cells by radiotherapy and reduce the need for extensive surgery, which can have significant side effects. If successful, a larger-scale study could follow.
