Core Tip	In this paper we investigated the relationship between overexpression of nuclear β-catenin in rectal adenocarcinoma and radioresistance. We first confirmed that nuclear β-catenin overexpression in rectal adenocarcinoma is associated with radioresistance. Most importantly, we found that nuclear β-catenin-based prediction achieved a 83% accuracy, 65% sensitivity and 88% specificity for radioresistance. We provided a novel possible molecular mechanism to explain the radioresistance in rectal adenocarcinoma and thus may provide a new therapeutic target for enhancing radiosensitivity.
