Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant treatment strategies have been developed to improve survival of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Since mainly patients with major histopathologic response benefit from this therapy, predictive markers are needed. The gene polymorphism of the X-ray-repair-cross complementing (XRCC1-) gene (rs25487) was analyzed to predict response to neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy and prognosis...
