Modified neoadjuvant rectal score as a novel prognostic model for rectal cancer patients who underwent chemoradiotherapy
CONCLUSION: We established a novel prognostic model, for rectal cancer patients that have undergone neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, using a combination of apoptosis-detecting immunohistochemistry and neoadjuvant rectal scores.PMID:38592641 | DOI:10.1007/s10147-024-02520-4 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

PDCD4-induced oxidative stress through FGR/NF- κB axis in rectal cancer radiotherapy-induced AKI
This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of the effect of PDCD4 on radiotherapy-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in rectal cancer through the regulation of FGR/NF-κB signaling. Differentially expressed genes were identified using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE90627 for rectal cancer and GSE145085 for AKI) and R software. The human renal tubular epithelial cell line, HK-2, was used to establish an in vitro model of radiotherapy-induced AKI. RT-qPCR and western blotting were used to detect gene and protein expression levels, respectively. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed using the ...

Extraperitoneal lateral pelvic sidewall excision: a novel rectal-sparing approach for lateral locally recurrent rectal cancer
Updates Surg. 2024 Apr 6. doi: 10.1007/s13304-024-01834-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLocally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) involving the lateral pelvic sidewall requires a complex approach to maximize the likelihood of R0 resection, which is the only predictor of survival. The purpose of this report is to describe a novel technique to resect a localized lateral pelvic sidewall LRRC. A 63-year-old male patient was referred for a 15-mm LRRC near the right internal iliac vessels. Endoscopic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging excluded any involvement of the pelvic colon or residual rectum. A combined extraperitonea...

Oncological outcomes after a pathological complete response following total neoadjuvant therapy or chemoradiotherapy for high-risk locally advanced rectal cancer in the RAPIDO trial
A pathological complete response (pCR) following chemoradiation (CRT) or short-course radiotherapy (scRT) leads to a favourable prognosis in patients with rectal cancer. Total neo-adjuvant therapy (TNT) doubles the pCR rate, but it is unknown whether oncological outcomes remain favourable and whether the same characteristics are associated with pCR as after CRT.
