The X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein is an independent prognostic marker for rectal adenocarcinoma after preoperative chemoradiotherapy
Rectal cancer (RC) is a common malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract. Preoperative neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is considered an effective treatment as it down-stages advanced RC. X-linke...
