Synopsis: Local excision might represent an alternative to total mesorectal excision for patients with a major response after neoadjuvant. In highly selected patients, local excision after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is associated with excellent long-term outcomes, and high rates of stoma-free rectum preservation.
