Tumor Regression Grades: Can They Influence Rectal Cancer Therapy Decision Tree?
BACKGROUND Evaluating impact of tumor regression grade in prognosis of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified from our colorectal cancer database 168 patients with LARC who received neoadjuvant therapy followed by complete mesorectum excision surgery between 2003 and 2011: 157 received 5-FU-based chemoradiation (CRT) and 11 short course RT. We...
متن کاملNew tumor regression grade for rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy and radical surgery
In this retrospective study, we defined a new tumor regression grade (NTRG), which we used to evaluate the prognosis of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who received neoadjuvant therapy and then underwent radical surgery between June 2004 and October 2011. Calculated as the TRG plus a lymph node score, the NTRG was determined for 347 patients: NTRG 0, 46 patients (13.3%); NTRG 1, 63...
متن کاملCorrelation between tumor regression grade and rectal volume in neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer
PURPOSE To determine whether large rectal volume on planning computed tomography (CT) results in lower tumor regression grade (TRG) after neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in rectal cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed medical records of 113 patients treated with surgery following neoadjuvant CCRT for rectal cancer between January and December 2012. Rectal volume w...
متن کاملNeoadjuvant Therapy in Rectal Cancer - Biobanking of Preoperative Tumor Biopsies
Translational research relies on high-quality biospecimens. In patients with rectal cancer treated preoperatively with radiochemotherapy tissue based analyses are challenging. To assess quality challenges we analyzed tissue samples taken over the last years in a multicenter setting. We retrospectively evaluated overall 197 patients of the CAO/ARO/AIO-94- and 04-trial with locally advanced recta...
متن کاملA predictive model of rectal tumor response to preoperative radiotherapy using classification and regression tree methods.
PURPOSE The ability to predict rectal tumor response to preoperative radiotherapy before treatment would significantly impact patient selection. In this study, classification and regression tree (CART) methods were used to model tumor response to preoperative conformal high-dose rate brachytherapy by assessing the predictive value of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Bcl-2, p21, p53, a...
