Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial of daily everolimus plus weekly trastuzumab and vinorelbine in trastuzumab-resistant, advanced breast cancer (BOLERO-3).

505 Background: Circumferential resection margin (CRM) and distal resection margin (DRM) have different impact on clinical outcomes after preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery. Effect and adequate length of resection margin as well as impact of treatment response after preoperative CRT was evaluated. Methods: Total of 403 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer underwent preoperative CRT followed by total mesorectal excision between January 2004 and December 2010. After applying the criterion of margin less than 0.5 cm for CRM and/or less than 1 cm for DRM, 158 cases were included as a study cohort. All patients underwent conventionally fractionated radiation with dose over 50 Gy and concurrent chemotherapy with 5-FU or capecitabine. Median follow-up duration was 44.9 months. Results: The 5-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), locoregional relapse-free survival (LRFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were 83.3%, 75.6%, 86.3%, and 77.4% respectively. ...
