Currently, the reference standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer, meaning tumours that have grown deeper into the layers of the rectal wall and/or involved nearby lymph nodes, but have not yet spread to the rest of the body – is to submit patients to chemotherapy and radiotherapy before surgery. This “total neoadjuvant therapy” reduces the risk of the cancer coming back in the rectum and can lower the risk of metastases, but has a cost for the patients because of the detrimental effects of radiation.

The Lucerne Consortium, a multidisciplinary group of European cancer societies and researchers that creates guidelines for early breast cancer care, published, in the December issue of the journal The Lancet Oncology, the conclusions of its Lucerne Toolbox 3 initiative, which pave the way to better treatment for patients in early stages of breast cancer.

The Lucerne consortium has already presented consensus recommendations for locoregional therapy after primary systemic therapy and for axillary management in early breast cancer. Now comes the turn of digital tools and AI.
