Tumor regression grade after neoadjuvant chemoradiation and surgery for low rectal cancer evaluated by multiple correspondence analysis: ten years as minimum …
Abstract Background The role of Mandard's tumor regression grade (TRG) classification is
still controversial in defining the prognostic role of patients who have undergone
neoadjuvant chemoradiation (CRT) and total mesorectal excision. The present study
evaluated multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) as a tool to better cluster variables,
including TRG, for a homogeneous prognosis. Patients and Methods A total of 174 patients
with a minimum follow-up period of 10 years were stratified into 2 groups: group A (TRG 1-3) …
