Research Abstract

We investigated the mechanism of distant recurrence in rectal cancer patients after preoperative chemoradiotherapy to improve the prognosis of patients with advanced rectal cancer further. The mechanism were analyzed from several viewpoints including 1) anti-cancer agents, 2) angiogenesis, 3) stemcell, 4) chemokines, 5) epitherial-mesenchymal transition(EMT), 6) cancer-stromal interaction, et al. Our study suggested that these all factors were associated with distant recurrence with several interactions. Therefore, we need to investigate the mechanism from various angles further, to control distant recurrence in rectal cancer patients after preoperative chemoradiotherapy.
