The local recurrence ratio following surgery alone is higher in patients with rectal cancer than in those with colon cancer. Preoperative radiotherapy reduces the rate of local recurrence and improves the chances of survival in patients with resectable advanced rectal carcinoma. Identification of predictive indicators of radiosensitivity is useful in selecting patients best suited for preoperative radiotherapy and thus helps to avoid unnecessary preoperative treatment. We investigated whether the combination of Ku, p53, p21, and p16 predicted tumor radiosensitivity.
