Predictors of Pathologic Complete Response After Neoadjuvant Treatment for Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter Study

Micro-Abstract Pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemoradiation for rectal cancer is associated with better long-term outcomes. To assess the rate and predictors of pCR, we performed a retrospective multicentered study. Lower pretreatment carcinoembryonic antigen level, proximity to...

Zusammenfassung:Micro-Abstract Pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemoradiation for rectal cancer is associated with better long-term outcomes. To assess the rate and predictors of pCR, we performed a retrospective multicentered study. Lower pretreatment carcinoembryonic antigen level, proximity to anal verge, and statin use are predictors of pCR.
