Abstract
A cDNA array (9984 genes) was used for expression profiling in rectal adenocarcinoma. The expression data were correlated to responsiveness to chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy. A set of 54 genes was found that were differentially expressed in responders vs. non-responders. The genes may be used as prognostic markers for determining whether a rectal adenocarcinoma is responsive to radiochemotherapy.
