Early Postoperative Low Expression of RAD50 in Rectal Cancer Patients Associates with Disease-Free Survival

چکیده
BACKGROUND Molecular biomarkers have the potential to predict response to the treatment of rectal cancer. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic and clinicopathological implication of RAD50 (DNA repair protein RAD50 homolog) expression in rectal cancer. METHODS A total of 266 rectal cancer patients who underwent surgery and received chemo- and radiotherapy between 2000 and 2011 were involved in the study. Postoperative RAD50 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry in surgical samples (n = 266). RESULTS Using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, we found that low RAD50 expression in postoperative samples was associated with worse disease free survival (p = 0.001) and overall survival (p < 0.001) in early stage/low-grade tumors. In a comparison of patients with low vs. high RAD50 expression, we found that low levels of postoperative RAD50 expression in rectal cancer tissues were significantly associated with perineural invasion (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Expression of RAD50 in rectal cancer may serve as a prognostic biomarker for long-term survival of patients with perineural invasion-positive tumors and for potential use in early stage and low-grade rectal cancer assessment.

Background and Aim: Many researchers have studied survival (time to death) of gastric cancer patients. Although gastric cancer diagnosed in early stages can be cured by surgery, chance of relapse still exists after operation. Hence, we should consider both events, that is, relapse of the disease and death, in order to be able to make a more precise estimation for survival of the patients. The p...

Laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery has technical difficulties with a higher complication rate than colon cancer. However, few studies have examined whether postoperative complications are associated with oncologic outcomes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of postoperative complications on long-term oncologic outcomes after laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer.Be...
