Title of the Congress : 12th Scientific and Annual Meeting of the European Society of Coloproctology
Title of your Abstract : Comparison of postoperative CEA levels in rectal cancers with complete versus non-complete pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation
Destination Country : Germany
From : Wednesday, September 20, 2017
To : Friday, September 22, 2017
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Aim: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a predictor of tumor response to chemoradiation in rectal cancer. The aim of this study is to compare mean postoperative CEA levels in rectal cancers with complete versus non-complete pathologic responses.
Method: A total of 42 patients with history of rectal cancer and curative surgical resection after neoadjuvant chemoradiation were included. Group A included 21 patients with complete pathologic response. Group B included 21 age, stage, and preoperative CEA matched cases with non-complete pathologic response. Patients were followed up for two years. CEA levels (ng/mL) were measured before and after the operation every three months.
Results: Mean age of patients were 52±14 years in both groups. In groups A and B, preoperative CEA levels were 3.41±3.71 and 3.36±3.13, respectively (p=0.962). Mean CEA levels during the eight postoperative visits were 1.86±0.97(Group A) and 2.02±1.69(Group B) (p=0.701). Except for the months twelve(p=0.241) and twenty-four(p=0.171), mean CEA level was lower in the group A. The differences in all measures were not significant between the two groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Although we detect a lower mean 2-year CEA level in patients with complete pathologic response, the difference was not statistically significant compared to rectal cancers with non-complete response.

Were the delegates of any other organizations present in the congress? : Yes
If yes, please write the names of the organizations in the box : Members of the European Society of Coloproctology
What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : Complete pathologic response after neoadjuvant chemoradiation in patients with rectal cancer is a matter of debate in the current literature and few studies have done on postoperative CEA levels in these patients. My presentation was among the most visited ones among other papers due to its updated topic.
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : N/A
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : No Followup is needed in this regard.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : I encountered no problem regarding ticket and accommodation for the congress. A number of places had been recommended for accommodation by the ESCP previously that could help the attendees to choose from them. Hotel reservation was also possible at time of registration. Regarding the ticket, as there are many choices for the ticket, I had no problem finding my ticket.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : This meeting is the largest scientific congress on the topic of coloproctology and colorectal surgery held by the European Society of Coloproctology each year. A large number of surgeons and physisician attending this congress. Updated topics in all aspects of the mentioned topics are discussed in this meeting in detail. I found the topics presented on colorectal surgery highly interesting. Video sessions reviewing surgical techniques for both colorectal cancers and anorectal problems were highly instructive. A group of topics including new approaches and debates on rectal cancers, laparoscopic techniques for colorectal patients and unusual anorectal diseases were interesting to me.
