Summary

This study analyzed tumor and blood samples from 160 people with esophageal or rectal cancer to find genetic markers that predict how well they respond to chemoradiotherapy given before surgery. The goal was to identify which patients are most likely to benefit from this treatment approach. No new treatment was tested; instead, researchers looked for biological clues in existing samples.
