Summary
In this retrospective study we analyzed the data of 119 consecutively patients affected by LARC, without evidence of distant metastases,treated in Pisa Universitary Hospital, between January 2008 and April 2014, with neoadjuvant RTCT.
The primary endpoint of this retrospective analysis is to identify predictive factors of response to neoadjuvant RTCT, which could be used in the next future for treatment decision making. The second endpoint is to identify in this subset of patients the prognostic factors related to OS and DFS.
