Incredible results from Chinese STELLAR 2 trial in #rectalcancer at #ESTRO25 which shows improved outcomes either immunotherapy and TNT vs TNT alone. Supports SCRT as iTNT backbone.

Next step is translational analysis of serial tumour samples to understand 1. Why tumours respond more or less than others 2. how RT/anti-PDL1 impacts the TME and response evolution. 👀Watch this space @nigeljamieson @JoanneE59669325 @owen_sansom @AcrCelerate @CRUK_SI
