The North Platte Community College (20-5) mens basketball team knocked off the defending Region IX Champion Saturday, nipping the Otero Rattlers (19-6) 63-56.
I went up with the mindset of dunking the ball and got fouled so made sure I made the lay-up, Jiech said.
The Knights missed some free throws down the stretch to give the Rattlers hope but got key defensive stops and defensive rebounds to put the game away as Ethan Montalvo hit four free throws to ice the game.
I thought it was a really good basketball game between two teams that competed hard. We were fortunate to win by hitting some big shots, head coach Kevin OConnor said.
The Knights are now 10-3 in Region IX play.
The Knights struggled toin the first half, shooting 35 percent from the field, but picked it up in the second, hitting 52 percent from the field, including three of three from the three-point line. Stingy defense was again the key for the Knights, who forced 20 turnovers and holding the Rattlers to 26 percent shooting from the three-point line.
Ethan Montalvo scored 14 points and grabbed 9 rebounds and Damon Brown had 14 points for North Platte. The Knights also got double digit scoring from Tim Simmons and Reath Jiech, both with 10 points.
The Rattlers were led by both Kentwan Smith and Terrell Brown with 12 points.
The Knights stay home next week with three home conference games beginning Wednesday Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. starting with the McCook Community College Indians (5-18, 1-11 Region IX) for a rematch of a game the Knights won 63-47 earlier this year behind 19 points from Tim Simmons.
On Friday Feb. 15 at 7:30 p.m. the Knights take on the Southeast Community College Storm (15-9), who the Knights knocked off 82-56. And then on Saturday Feb. 16 at 3 p.m., the Central Community College Raiders (12-11) come to town looking to avenge a 75-74 loss to the Knights.

Lindsay Lohan really might go to jail this time. Her arraignment in LA is scheduled for this morning. However, in a move that shocked- well, pretty much everyone- Lindsay FIRED legal superstar attorney Shawn Holley yesterday afternoon. Apparently, Lindsay's New York attorney, Mark Heller, sent Shawn a letter terminating her yesterday as Shawn was on her way to court to negotiate a plea deal to keep Lindsay out of jail by going to rehab.
Mark, who was barred from practicing law for five years in New York in the 90s, reportedly will rep Lindsay in all criminal matters. Unfortunately, he's not in California today to appear in court on Lindsay's behalf, and Lindsay isn't in California to appear herself. If no one shows up this morning, Lindsay could be ordered directly to jail. TMZ says Shawn will likely appear in court since she's still the attorney on record, but Lindsay has nixed the rehab plea deal.
Lindsay reportedly wants Shawn back as her attorney, but she signed the letter terminating her, so the letter is in effect. On top of all this, Lindsay owes Shawn $300,000 in legal fees. OUCH. You really couldn't blame Shawn for throwing up her hands and walking away at this point! I'm guessing this will land Lindsay right in prison. What do you think?

Course content
The BSc Geography degree explores a range of human, physical and environmental geography. We provide a coherent, up-to-date and relevant geography programme in terms of both subject knowledge and skills. Geography graduates are highly valued in the job market. This means Geography has one of the higher rates of graduate employment. Our recent graduates have been very successful in securing a range of challenging and enjoyable employment particularly in social research, teaching, environmental management and local government and planning.
The first year involves a broad-based introductory programme that provides a platform from which knowledge, understanding and skills are developed. In years two and three students can select modules from either Physical or Human Geography and have option of specialising in one side of the programme.
In Stage One students acquire a sound understanding of the fundamentals of Human and Physical Geography. In addition project and practical based work at this stage allows evaluative and applied investigation.
In Stage Two students combine compulsory core modules (e.g. Geographical Techniques 2) with selected modules from across the subject. Our teaching staff have used their research expertise to create interesting and challenging taught programmes combining class activities with extensive online resources.
Opportunities for field work include local area visits and a residential field course in western USA where students study the physical landscape, tourism and resource management.
During Stage Three, students undertake an independent research dissertation on a topic of their choice. This provides an opportunity to explore an area of particular interest and demonstrate the skills that have been learned as part of the course. Our Geography programme also includes career planning modules; these allow the development of an awareness of both subject-specific and transferable skills. The modules are taught in structured programmes that are delivered in class and supported by our online learning environment, NILE. Students can expect two hours of contact time each week for each module. Classes are delivered in a variety of means – lectures, seminars and practicals – and our aim is to provide opportunities for students to become actively involved in their learning. Personal tutorials, skills tutorials and fieldwork is additional to the time spent in the class and would average another one-two hours per week.
There is no charge for field visits within the UK, however the optional two-week trip to the USA as part of the stage two module, USA Field Module, typically costs about £1,600.

The course is delivered in classes in which students are taught key principles and concepts by the tutor but then are expected to actively participate in discussion, practical work and fieldwork. The course is designed to optimise the time for active learning.
An average study has twelve hours of contact time. This can be in the form of lectures, practical classes or small group seminars depending on the module. In addition to regular timetabled sessions students should expect to attend at least six field visits per year and a number of personal tutorials.
Students follow a carefully structured assessment programme that typically would mean three items per module. The aim of assignment programme is not only to test knowledge and skills but also to develop these skills (for instance, the ability to present to a group of people). Students can expect to work on a range of formal written assignments such as essays and field reports, but also to produce written work for different audiences, such as the media. Students will undertake many forms of oral assessment – presentations, debates and discussion. Some modules have end of year examinations.

Foundation Year
The Foundation Year programme offers a new and exciting route into studying for a degree, attracting ambitious and driven students who are willing to learn and advance.
If you have non-standard qualifications or do not quite meet the admissions requirements for BSc Geography, the University of Northampton can offer you a fantastic opportunity to study a four year BSc Geography programme which includes a Foundation Year, that will help you develop the technical grounding and academic skills you need, in order to successfully progress to the full award.
The Foundation Year provides a practical and group-based approach to learning that supports your development and your transition to Higher Education, whilst introducing you to key ideas and skills used by Geographers. We are also committed to engaging you with specialist Geography modules from the outset, whilst extending support into your second year of study (Stage One).
Course Structure
In the Foundation Year you will study two 40 credit modules that form the Foundation Study experience. These are:
Subject Studies 1: Practical and Study Skills – provides an introduction to key concepts, theories and principles associated with the area of study.
Research for Practice – provides an overview of the principles of research, research methods and the learning environment of the University. It will also include an introduction to the academic languages of the subject and the learning experience of degree study.
These modules are delivered concurrently with two Level 4 modules from your programme: ENV1107 Principles of Physical Geography and ENV1017 Learning for Sustainable Development.
Upon successful completion of these modules, you will progress to Stage One of BSc Geography, in which you will receive further support through:
Subject Studies 2: Working with Ideas – focuses specifically on the generation and development of ideas, building the key IT/ literacy/numeracy skill sets required by the programme.
In the remainder of Stage One, you will take four further 20 credit modules from the BSc Geography Award Map.
Typical timetabled week of study
Foundation Year teaching may be a combination of lectures, seminars and/or workshop based sessions. The three Foundation Year modules, Subject Studies 1: Practical and Study Skills, Research for Practice and Subject Studies 2: Working with Ideas are taken in the sequence indicated above. Each one involves a teaching contact time of four hours per week and students are also expected to engage in approximately 12 hours of independent study, to support the learning experience.
Foundation Study will, therefore, help you to build a solid understanding of the general theoretical and practical aspects that will underpin Geography, with the retained flexibility to possibly transfer later in your studies to other programmes, if they become more appropriate. Throughout all stages of your programme you will also be supported by a Personal Academic Tutor, to guide you through the learning experience and help you make informed study choices.
Foundation Study will enable you to acquire the necessary study skills to succeed in HE, as well as developing your understanding of key subject concepts delivered through taught sessions, laboratory and fieldwork, tutorial and online support.

Dan Sollom | What are the odds?
According to the National Hole-in-One Association, the odds of the average golfer making a hole-in-one is 12,700 to 1.
Not only do I find that an amazing statistic, I'm also blown away to know there is really a National Hole-in-One Association. There is! I actually looked it up online.
The odds of making a double eagle, also known as an albatross, are a staggering 6 million to 1. For non-golfers, a double eagle is when a player is able to score a 2 on a par 5 or a 1 on a par 4. There is something like 40,000 aces per year and only a couple hundred double eagles. (I looked that up, too).
How about the guy that first scores an albatross on a par 5 and two holes later records an ace? It happened and I was a witness.
Highlander Golf Course: March 29, 2014.
It was Saturday, and I hadn't really planned to play golf due to an iffy weather forecast. It was around 10 a.m. when Denese said, " Are you playing golf today?" It was partly cloudy and 47 degrees and showers were expected later in the day, and I quickly replied, " Yes, I think I will."
Not having a tee time and just showing up at Highlander is a bit of a risk, especially on the weekend, when play is generally busier, but I took a shot. I was told at the pro shop that I could immediately tee off and catch up with the twosome approaching the first green. Aaron and Jim were from the west side and staying at a cabin on Fish Lake for the weekend with their wives and kids. They had played Highlander before and loved the course — nice guys who played well.
On the No. 5 tee box, Jim was bemoaning the fact that he scored a double bogey 7 on the fourth hole. He pounds his drive down the middle of the par-5 fairway and is looking at a 230-yard second shot. As the ball is in the air, it's readily apparent he will make the green in two. As the ball starts to descend, I say, "Go in the hole." It did. A double eagle. An albatross. A 2 on a par 5 from 230 yards out. Wow! (Aaron and I both made par and it felt like a triple.)
After high-fives, whooping and the obligatory photos, we make our way to the next par 4. Jim, still flying high, records a bogey 5 but doesn't seem to be too bothered by it. The seventh hole is a 140-yard par 3. With a bit of a breeze in the face, Jim tees it up and hits a beautiful ball right toward the flag. Aaron says outloud, "Nice shot... go in!" It did. An ace. A hole-in-one after a double eagle just two holes back. Holy crap! Did that really just happen? All three of us jumped, high-fived, screamed and yelled.
After retrieving his ball from the bottom of the cup, we took more pics and talked about the odds of something like this happening. The odds are... well, I don't know. I looked it up and couldn't find any stats or examples of that combination occurring to the average player, or pro golfer, for that matter. I asked Jim about his handicap and he said he doesn't really have one, but said, "It's probably an 18." Ya right, Jim.
So the next time you want to play 18 and don't have a reserved tee time, just go out and join a couple of strangers for a few hours and see what happens. It just may be more than memorable — it might even be historical.

The holidays are officially over in my house! The decorations are down – including the tree – and I couldn't be happier about it. It was hard getting into the 'Christmas Spirit' this year since my hubby is away on a business trip. I put on a happy face for Xander – but I really wasn't interested in it all.
So now it's time to get ready to ring in 2010 which I am all for. 2009 can kiss my ass as far as I'm concerned – it's been a really ROUGH year!
My new year's plans include:
- Lose weight (purchasing a gym membership along with Jillian Michael's The 30-Day Shred dvd)
- Get organized (begin with desk/office area)
- Learn affiliate marketing (for fun and profit, lol)
- Launch affiliate website and actually make $$ with it (residual income!)
- Maintain kick-ass GPA at school
- Graduate with Bachelor's degree
- Score kick-ass job with web development firm
Nice right? Reaching for the stars baby … I'm sure I will come up with some more.

I had several fat quarters I was working with and ran out of fabric so I had to match some of my other fabrics. I thought it turned out nice. It definitely brightens up a room! I am going to put a very soft backing on it maybe in a soft pink.
I went on a designing spree to for cross stitch patterns and designed three new patterns for spring 2012. This is the first pattern I've started on and I'm thinking of calling it "Spring Blues". I'm using some lovely hand dyed silk from the Thread Gatherer. I love using silk floss, really recommend it if you haven't used it. I hope to have all these patterns ready for the spring Needlework Show in April. Happy New Year!!!

Abu Dhabi-based banks reported a slight increase in their net profits in the first half of 2012, extending slackening growth over the past few years because of slow credit in the wake of the 2008 global fiscal distress.
The net profits the emirate's five banks, most of which are government-controlled, grew to around Dh8.256 billion in the first half of this year from Dh8.230 billion in the first half of 2011, an increase of 0.4 per cent.
All but one bank reported higher earnings although income growth was far below that recorded before the crisis, when it exceeded 10 per cent in most years.
Their combined assets rose by nearly 2.9 per cent to Dh775,5 billion at the end of June 2012 from Dh753.7 billion at the end of June 2011.
The increase meant that the five banks controlled nearly 45 per cent of the total assets of Dh1m725 billion controlled by the UAE's 23 national banks and 28 foreign units.
A breakdown showed the net profits of National Bank of Abu Dhabi increased by 6.9 per cent to Dh2.08 billion while those of First Gulf Bank swelled by 10.5 per cent to Dh1.951 billion from Dh1.765 billion and the earnings of Union National Bank by 6.3 per cent to Dh934.4 million. The net income of Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank also edged up by around 2.3 per cent to Dh1.757 billion from Dhj1.717 billion, according to a report published in the semi official daily Alittihad.
Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank was the only unit in the emirate to record a decline in net earnings to around Dh1.535 billion1.918 billion in the same period.

Collateral damage? Virus slayer McAfee admitted on Friday that an error in its definition file meant its security tools had flagged a few harmless good eggs along with its usual horde of saboteurs as it policed the cyber-streets.
Antivirus software detected Microsoft Office components–Excel.exe and Graph.exe–and
A malicious flag was even applied to updaterui.exe,
Batches of so-called "false positives" like these are apparently quite common among the anti-virus vendors.
McAfee's solution for customers affected by the overzealous clean-up? "Users who have moved detected files to quarantine should restore them to their original location. Windows users who have had files deleted should restore files from backup or use System Restore."

I think it might be possible if you make an mxj~ object and do the MSPBuffer calls from within your perform routine. Not sure what the issues might be though. Ben?? Look in the java-doc directory for mxj~ examples. Topher
It's possible that the code is deferring to the main thread, but I don't think so. Miguel, have you tried this out?
I was able to do what i wanted. I just used MSPObject.poke or MSPObject.peek in the perform method and I increased an index variable (which stores where I'm currently reading/writing in the buffer) each time mxj~ calls perform(). The MSPObject methods are static, which means that you don't need to create an object, just call the methods directly through MSPObject.something(…,…,..) and one of the arguments is the buffer name.

Brigham Young Cougars vs. San Diego State Aztecs Poinsettia Bowl Betting Preview Date: 12/20/2012 at 8:00 p.m. (ET) Opening Lines: BYU -3, O/U 50 (click here for latest college football odds) Television: ESPN
BYU Cougars: No stranger to playing bowl games in San Diego, the Cougars (7-5 straight-up, 6-6 against the spread) will make their first trip to the Poinsettia Bowl to meet the Aztecs as slight favorites. This is Brigham Young's 12th trip to San Diego for a bowl game after making 11 appearances in the Holiday Bowl over the years. The Cougars went 4-6-1 in those matchups that started in the late 70s. Coach Bronco Mendenhall's squad completed its second season as an independent and closed the 2012 campaign by winning three of the final four games, the "over" also 3-1 in that span. Backup quarterbacl James Lark led a 50-14 rout at New Mexico State in the season finale, completing 34-of-50 passes for 384 yards and six touchdowns, five of those scoring tosses hauled in by Cody Hoffman, the team's leading receiver. Lark was pressed into duty for Riley Nelson, who is probable but may not start the Poinsettia Bowl due to a rib injury (click for updated college football injury report).
San Diego State Aztecs: This is the second Poinsettia Bowl appearance for the Aztecs (9-3 SU, 8-4 ATS), who won the 2010 contest vs. Navy, 35-14. San Diego State finished the 2012 campaign in a three-way tie for first in the Mountain West with Boise State and Fresno State, each team sporting 7-1 conference records. Coach Rocky Long's crew closed the schedule with seven consecutive triumphs after starting MWC play with a loss to Fresno State. The Aztecs bring the nation's 16th-ranked rushing attack into the battle with BYU, with the ground game led by sophomore tailback Adam Muema, who ranked 16th in the country averaging almost 113 yards per game. Adam Dingwell started SDSU's last four games of the season at QB after Ryan Katz suffered an ankle injury in the win over Nevada. Dingwell completed 71-of-115 pass attempts (61.7 percent) for eight touchdowns. This will be the 36th meeting between the Aztecs and Cougars, who own a 27-7-1 advantage over the years. BYU has won nine of the last 10 clashes with SDSU, covering two of the past three.

In this 1969 file photo, astronaut Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. poses for a photograph beside the U.S. flag deployed on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission. Aldrin and fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong were the first men to walk on the lunar surface. Photo by: AP Photo/NASA, Neil Armstrong, File
Marcia Dunn/AP Aerospace Writer
July 18, 2014 10:41:34 AM
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- On July 20, 1969, Buzz Aldrin was "out of town" when the world united and rejoiced in a way never seen before or since.
He and Neil Armstrong were on the moon.
They missed the whole celebration 45 years ago this Sunday. So did Michael Collins, orbiting solo around the moon in the mother ship.
Now, on this Apollo 11 milestone -- just five years shy of the golden anniversary -- Aldrin is asking everyone to remember where they were when he and Armstrong became the first humans to step onto another heavenly body, and to share their memories online.
Too young? You can also share how the moonwalkers inspired you.
Celebrities, public figures, and other astronauts and scientists are happily obliging with videos.
"What a day that was," said actor Tom Hanks, sipping from an Apollo 11 commemorative cup. He starred in the 1995 film "Apollo 13," another gripping moon story.
"Going to space is a big deal. Walking on the moon is, literally, walking on the moon," said singer-songwriter Pharrell Williams, born four years afterward.
And from London Mayor Boris Johnson, who watched the event unfold on an a little black-and-white TV at an English farmhouse: "I knew immediately it was the most exciting thing that I'd ever seen. I was only 5 at the time. And it still is just about the most exciting thing I've ever seen."
In all, 12 men explored the moon in six landings through 1972. But that first moonwalk, by Armstrong and Aldrin, is what clinched America's place as space leader supreme following a string of crushing losses to the Soviet Union, which claimed title to first satellite, first spaceman, first spacewoman and first spacewalker.
"U.S. 1, Sputnik nothing," actor Louis Gossett Jr. said with a laugh in his video.
It's the first big anniversary of man's first moon landing without Armstrong, whose "one small step ... one giant leap" immortalized the moment.
Armstrong, long known for his reticence, died in 2012 at age 82.
As Apollo 11's commander, Armstrong was first out the lunar module, Eagle, onto the dusty surface of Tranquility Base. Aldrin followed.
Collins, now 83, the command module pilot who stayed behind in lunar orbit as the gatekeeper, also spent decades sidestepping the spotlight. He's making an exception for the 45th anniversary -- he plans to take part in a NASA ceremony at Kennedy Space Center on Monday to add Armstrong's name to the historic Operations and Checkout Building.
That leaves Aldrin, 84, as the perennial spokesman for Apollo 11. He will also be at Monday's ceremony.
"I consider myself a global statesman for space," Aldrin says in a YouTube video. "So I spend most of my time traveling the country and the world to remind people what NASA and our space program have accomplished, and what is still in our future at Mars. I feel we need to remind the world about the Apollo missions and that we can still do impossible things.
"The whole world celebrated our moon landing. But we missed the whole thing because we were out of town. So now I invite you to share with me -- and the world -- your story or your family's story of where you were on July 20th, 1969. Or feel free to tell me how the Apollo missions inspired you."
Aldrin used to keep a little black book to list people's whereabouts on July 20, 1969. Everyone wanted to share that with him.
Now he's using social media and asking people to post a video to YouTube using the hashtag #Apollo45.
And the stories are pouring in.
Peter Alyward, a self-professed space geek from Melbourne, Australia, recalls his parents waking him to see the Saturn V launch from what then was called Cape Kennedy, Florida, on July 16, 1969 -- 45 years ago Wednesday -- around the middle of the night Down Under.
It's the first major Apollo 11 anniversary-- one divisible by five -- that actually falls on the days of the week that the events occurred. Liftoff was, indeed, on a Wednesday, Eastern time; the moon landing was on a Sunday, Eastern time.
"More than any other time in history, with the technology that became available then, all the people of the world truly did experience it and were able to share it. Not just as an American feat, but as a really global event," said Aylward, 56, a business developer for a software company.
Actor Tim Allen watched the moon landing from his boyhood Michigan home.
"To this day, it's the most exciting thing in my life, just to think what you saw and what you experienced ... " Allen said.
Some of videos urge a return to the moon. President Barack Obama scrapped that idea in 2010 in favor of sending astronauts to an asteroid and then Mars.
"From one frontier to another, let's go back," Alaska's lieutenant governor, Mead Treadwell, said in his video.
"Well done, Buzz Aldrin," added Johnson, London's mayor. "And about time we got back up there, huh?"

Christie Brinkley, who was married to Billy Joel from 1985 to 1994, wrote a touching tribute to her late former mother-in-law, Rosalind Nyman Joel, on Tuesday.
Rosalind, the woman who inspired the song "Rosalinda's Eyes" from Joel's 1978 album "52nd Street," died on Sunday. She was 92.
"At sad times we look for ways to find the good to lift our spirits, so I have only to imagine what Rosalinda's Eyes have seen to find cause to celebrate a life well lived!" wrote Brinkley.
"Just in this year alone she saw her son, Billy Joel receive the Kennedy Center Honor, the highest cultural honor possible, from the President of the United States no less, and Rosalind greatly appreciated the Arts! She also saw her son get a regular gig at Madison Square Garden (where he already holds a record) and where Roz is welcomed on a first name basis! And her eyes sparkled with pride and joy as the former Gilbert and Sullivan chorus girl, watched her granddaughter Alexa perform at the famed Cafe Carlyle surrounded by a large group of her friends enjoying themselves."
"I know as a mom myself that when you see your kids happy healthy and enjoying their passions you feel content and happy. Rosalinda's Eyes will live on not only in the song inspired by her, but in Billy, and Alexa… and Nanny Roz herself would find that worth celebrating. @alexarayjoel #cherishedgrandmother #restinpeace."
Joel shared the news of his mother's death via his official website. On it he praised her for supporting "various charitable endeavors."
Rosalind is survived by her two children, Billy and daughter Judy Molinari; her sister Bertha Miller; and her two granddaughters, Alexa Ray Joel and Rebecca Molinari Gehrkin.

A new study has shown that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used to evaluate responses to pre-surgery (neo-adjuvant) chemotherapy or radiation may predict survival among patients with advanced rectal cancer. The findings suggest that MRI-assessed tumor responses to neoadjuvant therapy can help physicians to better plan their patients' subsequent treatments.
MRI prior to surgery could help in the management of patients in a number of ways, including offering more intense therapy or alternative chemotherapy to those patients who appear initially resistant to chemotherapy, or changing the surgical plan.
"This is the first time that MRI has been shown to predict outcome for patients with rectal cancer who have completed initial chemoradiation therapy," said lead author Gina Brown, MBBS, MD, consultant radiologist and honorary senior lecturer in the Department of Radiology at the Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust in Sutton, UK. "MRI staging and reassessment of rectal cancers before and after chemoradiotherapy are not routinely done for all patients. We've shown that using MRI this way can help change the course of patient care, perhaps enabling physicians to choose a more effective chemotherapy drug or even in some cases ultimately avoid surgery."
In the study - called MERCURY - researchers used MRI to measure tumor shrinkage in 111 patients who had previously undergone preoperative radiotherapy or both chemotherapy and radiation (chemoradiation) for locally advanced rectal cancer. The group - part of a larger study of MRI use in improving rectal cancer staging begun in 2002 - was followed for five years. The researchers measured tumor response in terms of "tumor regression grade (TRG)," which measures the degree of tumor shrinkage after therapy, and the involvement of "circumferential resection margin (CRM)," which refers to the remaining cancer at the tumor edges after treatment, or predicted to remain after surgery. Patients were broadly designated either a "good" or "poor" responder to chemoradiation, according to MRI, and researchers compared survival of the two groups.
Investigators found that 72 percent of good responders to chemotherapy/radiation were alive after five years compared to 27 percent of those who were poor responders. The disease-free survival for those with good responses was 64 percent versus 31 percent for the poor responders. In addition, local recurrence rates at five years for those patients for whom there was MRI-predicted CRM involvement was 28 percent compared to 12 percent for patients with predicted cancer-free tumor margins.
Rectal cancer is commonly found in advanced stages, and as a result, neoadjuvant chemoradiation is frequently given to try to shrink tumors and make them easier to remove. While surgeons attempt to completely remove the cancer in order to minimize the chances of cancer returning, advanced tumors are more difficult to completely remove and more likely to have unseen cancer remaining at the edges of tissue at the surgery site. A positive surgical margin (tumor that remains at the borders of the surgical resection) is considered a strong predictor of local recurrence.
Of the 111 patients in the study, 73 percent (81 patients) were expected to have cancer left in the surgical margins prior to initial treatment. After neoadjuvant therapy, only 42 percent (47 patients) were predicted to have disease left in the surgery margins, meaning this group was still at risk for recurrence prior to surgery.
"The next step is to take these tumor response grades and decide what the best treatment approach could be based on the degree of responses," Brown said.
She noted that future trials investigating neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy may be able to identify a subgroup of patients that has a good response and for whom chemotherapy alone might be enough, while also identifying those who needed further therapy prior to surgery. In some cases, the preoperative treatment removed all evidence of the tumor, leading some physicians to question the need for surgery. The investigators have begun a trial to study what happens to those individuals who appear to not have any remaining cancer with chemoradiation alone and have deferred surgery. In some cases, this has resulted in long-term deferral with anal sphincter preservation. Other trials may also be designed to use MRI results in regard to treatment efficacy.
ASCO Perspective: Morton Kahlenberg, MD, ASCO Cancer Communications Committee member and surgical oncology specialist
"This work has significant scientific and clinical importance because it shows that performing MRI following initial chemoradiation therapy and before surgery may predict long-term outcome and identify patients who could benefit from more aggressive therapy prior to surgery. This could change the standard of care for these patients, since using MRI may suggest the need for further treatment before surgery. Clinical trials are needed to address this important question."
