Histopathological, Radiological, and Demographic Factors Predicting the Response to Neoadjuvant Therapy for Rectal Cancer.

Therefore, it is important to determine which patients will respond best to neoadjuvant treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate which hematological, histopathological, and radiological parameters can predict the response to chemoradiotherapy.
