Predictive factors of pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant chemoradiation for rectal cancer.

TL;DR: Despite traditional beliefs that certain patient and tumor factors influence pCR, an extended interval between completion of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery was the single most important determinant in achieving a pCR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibrin glue treatment of complex anal fistulas has low success rate.

TL;DR: Fibrin glue treatment for complex anal fistulas has a low success rate and most recrudescences occurred within three months, however, given the low morbidity and relative simplicity of the procedure, fibr in glue should still be considered as a first-line treatment for patients with complex anal Fistulas.

TL;DR: Overall survival and distant recurrence were also significantly improved for patients achieving pCR, suggestingchievement of pCR after neoadjuvant chemoradiation is associated with greatly improved cancer outcomes in locally advanced rectal cancer.
