Abstract
Identifying patients who may or may not achieve pathologic complete response (pathCR) allows for treatment with alternative approaches in the preoperative setting. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether aneuploidy of chromosome 8 and mutations of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) could predict the response of patients with rectal cancer to preoperative chemoradiotherapy. A total of 33 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (cT3-T4 and/or cN+) treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy between September 2014 and March 2015 were recruited. Blood samples were collected from 33 patients with pre-chemoradiotherapy rectal cancer. It was demonstrated that ≥5 copies of chromosome 8 was associated with pathCR (univariate logistic regression, P=0.042). Of the 6 patients whose CTCs had <5 copies of chromosome 8, 3 achieved pathCR (3/6, 50%), and of the 27 patients whose CTCs had ≥5 copies of chromosome 8 obtained 3 pathCR (3/27, 11.1%; Chi-square test, P=0.0255). Of the 33 patients with mutations assessed, 8 significant nonsynonymous mutations in CTCs were identified as associated with pathCR (Chi-square test, P-values range, 0.0004-0.0298; mutations in ARID1A, HDAC1, APC, ERBB3, TP53, AMER1 and AR). These results sugg...Continue Reading
