Summary

Purpose:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Non-Operative Management (NOM) and Organ Preservation First Strategy (OPFS) compared with Radical Operation (RO) in patients with deficient mismatch repair/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) or POLE-mutated gastrointestinal cancers.

Background \& Design:

With the remarkable efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in dMMR/MSI-H or POLE-mutated gastrointestinal tumors, organ preservation has become a promising alternative to highly invasive surgeries. The NOR-MP trial is a single-center, bidirectional registry study consisting of two parts: a retrospective cohort study and a prospective observational registry.

Intervention Group (NOM/OPFS): Patients who achieve a clinical complete response (cCR) or near-cCR after neoadjuvant immunotherapy will undergo a "Watch \& Wait" (W\&W) strategy. Patients with near-cCR or non-cCR who are eligible for organ preservation will undergo local excision (LE) or endoscopic resection (including ESD or EMR).

Comparison Group (Radical Operation): Patients who undergo standard radical surgical resection after neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

The study aims to determine whether an organ-preserving approach can achieve comparable oncological outcomes and safety profiles while significantly improving patients' quality of life compared to radical surgery.
