Review Description

Improvement of the multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of rectal cancer over recent years has led to the fact that in specialized high-volume oncology clinics it is possible to achieve a complete pathomorphological response to neoadjuvant therapy in a third of patients. The emergence of new knowledge about the development of tumor complete response and the accumulation of clinical experience opens up possibility for the wider use of an organ-sparing approach. Undoubtedly, making such a critical strategic decision requires reliable and effective tools for complete response predicting. This review is devoted to methods for assessing tumor response in patients diagnosed with rectal cancer. A look at the problem is presented from the perspective of modern methods of medical imaging, molecular and genetic studies, the study of the characteristics of the immune response, and a new look at clinical data. New data can form the basis for new patient selection algorithms for personalized treatment protocols for rectal cancer, thereby improving long-term results and quality of life for patients.
