Pretreatment blood biomarkers predict pathologic responses to neo-CRT in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer

To evaluate the value of pretreatment blood biomarkers in predicting pathologic responses to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (neo-CRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. We conducted logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic to assess the predictive value of bloo...

Description
Summary:To evaluate the value of pretreatment blood biomarkers in predicting pathologic responses to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (neo-CRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. We conducted logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic to assess the predictive value of blood biomarkers. The outcome was defined by the pathologic complete response and good response. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (p
