Objectives This study aimed to create a nomogram for the risk prediction of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) resistance in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Methods Clinical data in this retrospective study were collected from a total of 135 LARC patients admitted to our hospital from June...
