Data independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) analysis of FFPE rectal cancer samples offers in depth proteomics characterization of response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy

ABSTRACT: A total of 97 LARC patients treated at the Institute for Oncology and Radiology of Serbia in the period of 2018-2019 were included in the study. Patients were treated with long-course chemoradiotherapy (CRT): Radiotherapy (RT) was delivered with a total dose of 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions; concomitant chemotherapy (5-FU, 350 mg/m2 daily) and Leucovorin (25 mg/m2 daily) was administered during the first and the fifth week of RT. Patients were evaluated in week 6-8 after treatment completion with pelvic MRI scan and rigid proctoscopy. Pathohistological response after surgery was assessed according to tumor regression grading (TRG) categories by Mandard. Twenty biopsy samples taken at diagnosis were used for proteomic analysis, 9 responders (R, TRG 1-2), and 11 non-responders (NR, TRG 3-5), in order to achieve the maximum range of different molecular features potentially associated with response.
