Evaluation of Inflammatory Markers in LARC Patients

June 8, 2023 updated by: Marina Morais, Hospital Pedro Hispano

Evaluation of Pretreatment Inflammatory Markers in Predicting Response to nCRT and Prognosis in LARC Patients

Introduction: In locally advanced rectal cancers (LARC), TNM staging is far from optimal. We aimed to investigate the value of previously described circulating biomarkers as predictors of prognosis.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 245 LARC patients diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2022, who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery at two centers. A Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analysis were performed.
