To identify a biomarker profile associated with tumor response to chemoradiation (CRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer. Rectal cancer response to neoadjuvant CRT is variable. While some patients have a minimal response, others achieve a pathologic compete response (pCR) and have no viable cancer cells in their surgical specimens. Identifying biomarkers of response will help select patients more likely to benefit from CRT. This study includes 132 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant CRT followed by surgery. Tumor DNA from pre-treatment tumor biopsies and control DNA from paired normal surgical specimens was screened for mutations and polymorphisms in 23 genes. Genetic biomarkers were correlated with tumor response to CRT (pCR versus non-pCR), and the association of single or combined biomarkers with tumor response was determined. Thirty-three out of 132 (25%) patients achieved a pCR and 99 (75%) patients had non-pCR. Three individual markers were associated with non-pCR; KRAS mutation (p = 0.0145), CCND1 G870A (AA) polymorphism (p = 0.0138), and MTHFR C677T (TT) polymorphism (p = 0.0120). Analysis of biomarker combinations revealed that none of the 27 patients with both p53 and KRAS mutations had a pCR. Further, in patients with both p53 and KRAS mutations or the CCND1 G870A (AA) polymorphism or the MTHFR C677T (TT) polymorphism (n = 52) the association with non-pCR was further strengthened; 51 out of 52 (98%) of patients were non-pCR. These biomarker combinations had a validity of >70% and a positive predictive value of 97%–100%, predicting that patients harboring these mutation/polymorphism profiles will not achieve a pCR. A specific biomarker profile is strongly associated with non-pCR to CRT and could be used to select optimal oncologic therapy in rectal cancer patients.
