Caspase-3 activity predicts local recurrence in rectal cancer.
PURPOSE Radiotherapy followed by total mesorectal excision surgery has been shown to significantly reduce local recurrence rates in rectal cancer patients. Radiotherapy, however, is associated with considerable morbidity. The present study evaluated the use of biochemical detection of enzymatic caspase-3 activity as preoperative marker for apoptosis to preselect patients that are unlikely to de...
متن کاملLocal Recurrence of Rectal Cancer
One hundred twenty-six rectal cancers were operated upon in the First Department of Surgery, Nagasaki University School of Medicine. Local recurrence occurred in thirty-three (26.2%). In this study, contributing factors in causing local recurrence were local excision of the surgical approach, advanced stage, depth of cancer invasion, location of carcinoma of the rectum below the peritoneal refl...
متن کاملLocal recurrence after rectal cancer treatment in Manitoba.
BACKGROUND By optimizing surgical and/or radiotherapy treatment, local recurrence rates of resectable rectal cancers have been reported to be less than 10% in both clinical trials and in some population-based studies. We examined patterns of care and local recurrence rates for rectal cancers in the province of Manitoba. METHODS We used the provincial cancer registry to identify all rectal can...
متن کاملFXYD-3 expression in relation to local recurrence of rectal cancer
PURPOSE In a previous study, the transmembrane protein FXYD-3 was suggested as a biomarker for a lower survival rate and reduced radiosensitivity in rectal cancer patients receiving preoperative radiotherapy. The purpose of preoperative irradiation in rectal cancer is to reduce local recurrence. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of FXYD-3 as a biomarker for increased r...
متن کاملCD44 expression predicts local recurrence after radiotherapy in larynx cancer.
PURPOSE To find molecular markers from expression profiling data to predict recurrence of laryngeal cancer after radiotherapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We generated gene expression data on pre-treatment biopsies from 52 larynx cancer patients. Patients developing a local recurrence were matched for T-stage, subsite, treatment, gender and age with non-recurrence patients. Candidate genes were then ...
