rectal cancerColorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy worldwide, and rectal cancer (RC) accounts for 29% of all cases. Local staging of RC is crucial for the purposes of addressing patients appropriately to surgery alone or to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (pCRT) followed by total ...
Rectal cancer staging provides critical information concerning the extent of the disease. The information gained from staging is used to determine prognosis, to guide management, and to assess response to therapy. Accurate staging is essential for directing the multidisciplinary approach to therapy. This...
Rectal cancer usually develops over several years, first growing as a precancerous growth called a polyp. Some polyps have the ability to turn into cancer and begin to grow and penetrate the wall of the rectum. The actual cause of rectal cancer is unclear. However, the following are risk f...

Treatment of rectal cancer requires multidisciplinary collaboration. Proper reporting and staging of rectal cancer specimens is indispensable for the management of rectal cancer. The work of pathologist over the years has substantially changed from merely providing an initial diagnosis and pathological ...
T-staging of rectal cancer: accuracy of 3.0Tesla MRI compared with 1.5Tesla Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not accurate in discriminating T1-2 from borderline T3 rectal tumors. Higher resolution on 3Tesla-(3T)-MRI could improv... M Maas,DMJ Lambregts,MJ Lahaye,... - 《Abdominal Imagin...
The role of positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) in evaluating the local extent of rectal cancer remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the possible role of PET/MR versus magnetic resonance (MR) in clinically staging rectal cancer. Methods This retrospective two-center...
