This study therefore aimed to explore clinicopathologic and molecular characteristics, and prognostic value of HER2-positivity in residual mid- and/or low-rectal cancers after preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Surgical specimens from 145 patients with residual rectal cancer after preoperative CRT...
