Background And Purpose: To explore the utility of tumour regression grading (TRG, the amount of residual tumour cells in relation to extension of fibrosis) after chemoradiation of rectal cancer.
Materials And Methods: Of 131 patients who received preoperative chemoradiation in the frame of the randomized trial, pathological complete response (pCR, TRG0), good regression (TRG1), moderate regression (TRG2), and poor regression (TRG3) were recorded in 17%, 31%, 31%, and 22% of patients, respectively.
Results: The rates of ypN-positive category for TRG0, TRG1, TRG2, and TRG3 groups were 5%, 23%, 45%, and 46%, respectively, p=0.001. When ypT-category and TRG were evaluated by the logistic regression analysis, only ypT-category remained significant for independent prediction of the risk for mesorectal nodal metastases, p=0.006. The 4-year (median follow-up) disease-free survival (DFS) for TRG0, TRG1, TRG2, and TRG3 groups were 91%, 67%, 54%, and 47%. When patients with persistent disease (TRG1 vs. TRG2 vs. TRG3) were analyzed separately, TRG had no prognostic value for DFS, p=0.402.
Conclusions: TRG in patients with residual cancer had no prognostic value for the incidence of nodal disease and for DFS. Our findings and literature data question the need for the inclusion of TRG assessment into a routine pathological report.

Objectives: To establish a spectral CT-based nomogram for predicting the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Methods: This retrospective study included 172 patients with ESCC who underwent spectral CT scans before NAC followed by resection. Based on postoperative tumor regression grades (TRG), 34% (58) of patients were responsive (TRG1) and 66% (114) were non-responsive (TRG2-3).

Context.—: Histologic assessment of tumor regression grade (TRG) on esophagogastrectomy specimens after neoadjuvant therapy is an excellent predictor of local recurrence rate and long-term survival in esophageal adenocarcinomas. Although several grading systems exist globally, the modified Ryan system suggested by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) is widely used in North America.

Objective: This study aims to identify factors associated with achieving a pathological complete remission (pCR) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT).
Methods: We conducted a cohort analysis of 171 LARC patients who underwent curative resection post-nCRT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between January 2015 and December 2021. The data encompassed clinical and pathological information.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated how different grades of tumor response (TRG) and a new scoring system (TRG-ypN) relate to cancer recurrence and survival in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma after treatment.
- The research, which included 2,746 patients treated between 2007 and 2016, found that lower TRG scores corresponded to lower recurrence rates and longer overall survival, with TRG1 patients having better outcomes than those with higher scores.
- Additionally, residual nodal disease had a more significant negative impact on prognosis compared to remaining disease at the primary tumor site, highlighting the importance of nodal status in treatment outcomes.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the impact of ypT stage and tumor regression grade (TRG) on the long-term prognosis of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) stage ypT1-4N0 after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 585 patients with histologically diagnosed middle-low LARC (cT3-4 or cN + by pelvic MRI) from 2014 to 2019. All patients underwent NCRT, followed by total mesorectal excision.
