Brief Summary: Background

Meta-analyses of large randomized trials proved the superiority of preoperative short course radiation and surgery as compared with surgery alone Short course radiation results in a 50 reduction in terms of local relapse in stage II and III rectal cancer patients Patients with complete pathological remission additionally show a significant survival benefit Complete pathological remission pCR occurs in 8 after preoperative radiation and in 16 if the interval between radiation and surgery is at least 8 weeks

It is generally accepted that mutations in the TP53 gene represent a crucial defect in the apoptosis pathway Radiation therapy is suggested to act via induction of apoptosis in irradiated cells Therefore it is expected that a defect in the TP53 gene has an effect on the success of radiation therapy

Currently available imaging tools are hardly able to diagnose response to radiation therapy correctly as this does not essentially correlate with tumor size

Method

Aim of this prospective observation study is to strengthen the hypothesis that the TP53 genotype is a promising marker to predict response to radiation therapy in rectal cancer patients Consequently the expected results will justify prospective randomized intervention trials to obtain level of evidence I for the p53 marker hypothesis Trial endpoint is downstaging and pCR rate Tumor stage and pathological remission will be evaluated by MRT and pathohistology and correlated to the TP53 genotype of the diagnostic biopsy Additionally we will investigate the applicability of novel imaging modalities in magnet resonance tomography to monitor response to radiotherapy

The objective of this study is

to evaluate the effect of a genetic tumor marker TP53 genotype on the response to preoperative short course radiation in terms of downstaging and pCR rate
to evaluate the applicability of novel magnet resonance tomography imaging modalities to monitor response to preoperative short time radiation

Conclusion

The prospective evaluation of the potential predictive marker TP53 may bring us one-step closer to an individualized therapy regimen which allows the restriction of preoperative radiation in rectal cancer to those patients who will benefit
