🎤 1️⃣ Presented our endoTRG study during the Rectal Cancer Podium Session at #ASCRS2026 @ASCRS_1 🔹 A Novel Endoscopic Tumor Regression Grading System (endoTRG) for Predicting Pathologic Response Following Total Neoadjuvant Therapy in Rectal Cancer 💫 Introducing a first quantitative post-TNT endoscopic assessment approach to improve response evaluation and organ-preservation decision making in rectal cancer. As TNT and W&W strategies continue to expand, standardized endoscopic response assessment may become increasingly important in predicting pathologic response and optimizing patient selection. @ClevelandClinic @CCFSurgery @CleveClinicFL @EmreGorgunMD @DavidLiskaMD @jsommov @ScottRSteeleMD @DrMikeValente @AmCollSurgeons @AmColSurgCancer
