A Retrospective Analysis on Two-week Short-course Pre-operative Radiotherapy in Elderly Patients with Resectable Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Abstract: To validate that a two-week short-course pre-operative radiotherapy regimen is feasible, safe, and effective for the management of elderly patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), we retrospectively analyzed 99 radiotherapy-naive patients ≥70 years of age with LARC. Patients received pelvic radiation therapy (3D-CRT 30Gy/10f/2w) followed by TME surgery; some patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was OS, while the secondary endpoints were DFS, safety and response rate. The me… Show more

“…Finally, we reported that the JNK-MIEF1 pathway was activated by Mst1/Yap modification. At the molecular level, MIEF1 is a novel mitochondrial damage mediator [57]. In cardiac ischemia reperfusion stress, MIEF1 is upregulated, and the levels of MIEF1 are tightly correlated with the degree of myocardial injury [58].…”
