Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) is essential for treating locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), however response to nCRT varies, and reliable predictors are lacking. METHODS: This study used whole exome sequencing analysis to investigate genetic differences between tumors highly responsive and non-responsive to nCRT. Five patients with good response and two patients without response to nCRT were...
