Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Detected Tumor Response for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Predicts Survival Outcomes: MERCURY Experience

TLDR
MRI assessment of TRG and CRM are imaging markers that predict survival outcomes for good and poor responders and provide an opportunity for the multidisciplinary team to offer additional treatment options before planning definitive surgery.
Abstract
Purpose To assess magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathologic staging after neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer in a prospectively enrolled, multicenter study. Methods In a prospective cohort study, 111 patients who had rectal cancer treated by neoadjuvant therapy were assessed for response by MRI and pathology staging by T, N and circumferential resection margin (CRM) status. Tumor regression grade (TRG) was also assessed by MRI. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine associations between staging of good and poor responders on MRI or pathology and survival outcomes after controlling for patient characteristics. Results On multivariate analysis, the MRI-assessed TRG (mrTRG) hazard ratios (HRs) were independently significant for survival (HR, 4.40; 95% CI, 1.65 to 11.7) and disease-free survival (DFS; HR, 3.28; 95% CI, 1.22 to 8.80). Five-year survival for poor mrTRG was 27% versus 72% (P = .001), ...

High-dose chemoradiotherapy and watchful waiting for distal rectal cancer: a prospective observational study

TL;DR: High-dose chemoradiotherapy and watchful waiting might be a safe alternative to abdominoperineal resection for patients with distal rectal cancer.

EURECCA colorectal: Multidisciplinary management: European consensus conference colon & rectum

TL;DR: The first multidisciplinary consensus conference about cancer of the colon and rectum was held in December 2012 as mentioned in this paper, where the expert panel consisted of representatives of European scientific organisations involved in cancer care of patients with colon and Rectal cancer and representatives of national colorectal registries.

Patient-Derived Organoids Predict Chemoradiation Responses of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

TL;DR: A living organoid biobank is generated from patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NACR) enrolled in a phase III clinical trial to imply that PDOs predict LARC patient responses in the clinic and may represent a companion diagnostic tool inrectal cancer treatment.

MR Imaging of Rectal Cancer: Radiomics Analysis to Assess Treatment Response after Neoadjuvant Therapy.

TL;DR: T2- Weighted-based radiomics showed better classification performance compared with qualitative assessment at T2-weighted and DW imaging for diagnosing pCR in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer after CRT.

Preoperative Radiotherapy Combined with Total Mesorectal Excision for Resectable Rectal Cancer

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a multicenter, randomized trial to determine whether the addition of preoperative radiotherapy increases the benefit of total mesorectal excision, and the overall rate of survival at two years among the eligible patients was 82.0 percent in the group assigned to both radiotherapy and surgery.

Local recurrence of rectal adenocarcinoma due to inadequate surgical resection. Histopathological study of lateral tumour spread and surgical excision.

TL;DR: In this paper, transverse slicing was used to examine whole-mount sections of the entire operative specimen of rectal adnocarcinoma and showed that the spread to the lateral resection margin in 14 of 52 (27%) patients and 12 of these proceeded to local pelvic recurrence.

Pathological features of rectal cancer after preoperative radiochemotherapy

TL;DR: It is thought that preoperative radiochemotherapy is able to reduce tumor mass thus achieving operability in non-curatively operable cases and recommend standards of pathological work up and regression grading for further studies comparing surgery and radiochemistry of rectal carcinoma.

Prognostic Significance of Tumor Regression After Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy for Rectal Cancer

TL;DR: In this exploratory analysis, complete ( TRG 4) and intermediate pathologic response (TRG 2 + 3) suggested improved DFS after preoperative CRT, and TRG assessment should be implemented in pathologic evaluation and prospectively validated in further studies.
