Abstract: Rectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumor in our country,  among them with highest incidence of low rectal cancer. With the further study on the biological behavior of rectal cancer and the development of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, gastrointestinal oncologists have proposed a new treatment strategy local resection and wait-and-see. This strategy can better preserve anal function and improve the quality of life of patients without losing the good tumor control of the traditional standard treatment model.

Key words: Rectal neoplasms, Neoadjuvant therapy, Local excision, Wait-and-see
