چکیده

background: colorectal carcinoma is the third most common cause of death in iran. this study was performed in order to determine the appropriate distal clearance margin (dcm) for resection of rectal cancer in patients who undergo neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for sphincter preserving procedure. materials and methods: this was a cross-sectional study conducted in shahid faghihi hospital of shiraz university of medical sciences from 2006 to 2011. we included all patients with low rectal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. the medical charts of patientsand disease characteristics were recorded. the local recurrence, recurrence-free survival and mortality rates were compared between those with dcm ≥2cm and dcm <2cm. results: overall, 82 patients with a mean age of 56.7 ± 16.4 years were included. the dcm was found to be ≥2cm in 45 (54.9%) patients and <2cm in 37 (45.1%). the two study groups were comparable in terms of age (p=0.573), sex (p=0.505), histopathological tumor grade (p=0.165), and distance of tumor to anal verge (p=0.125). patients with dcm ≥2cm had a lower local recurrence rate (35.6% vs. 97.3%; p<0.001), a higher recurrence-free survival rate (88.9% vs. 67.6%; p=0.032) and a lower mortality rate (11.1% vs. 32.4%; p=0.027). conclusion: although some studies have showed that dcm<2cm leads to similar results compared to dcm≥ 2cm, our findings revealed that obtaining a distal clearance margin of 2cm for resection of rectal cancer in patients who have undergone neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy is associated with a lower local recurrence rate, higher recurrence-free survival rate and lower mortality rate.

New drug in neoadjuvant chemoradiation for rectal cancer

Background: In recent years, neoadjuvant chemoradiation and subsequent surgical resection with total mesorectal excision has been shown to increase local control with decreased toxicity. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer. In this study we evaluated the efficacy a cox-2 inhibitor on pathologic response, sphincter preservation and acute tox...

Low Mmp 9 and VEGF levels predict good oncologic outcome in mid and low rectal cancer patients with neoadjuvant chemoradiation

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate apoptotic (Bcl-2, Bax expression, caspase-3 activity, and cytochrome-c) and angiogenic (MMP-9 levels and VEGF expression) markers in operable rectal cancer patients who were treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by total mesorectal excision (TME). Understanding these factors will facilitate the identification of...
