The histological type and T staging were assessed and recorded according to the 7th edition of TNM system for rectal cancer by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). Statistical analysis The interobserver and intraobserver agreements were interpreted utilizing the intra-class correlation ...
Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) poses a significantly challenge in clinical management, requiring a multimodal treatment approach. Among innovative strategies, Total Neoadjuvant Therapy (TNT) has emerged, delivering all planned chemotherapy before surgery. Objective Our aim was to evaluate the real-...
Rectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in both men and women worldwide. Multimodal management with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical resection remain the mainstay in rectal cancer treatment. The optimal use and timing of these treatment modalities are evolving. Ongoing ...

Radiology however, was underexposed. An adequate pre-operative 'work-up' involving MRI scanning to detect mesorectal involvement prior to surgery is increasingly encouraged [8], but was not part of TME trial. This partly explains the 18.3% of patients with involved margins after TME [9], ...
The postoperative pathology TNM stage was used to differentiate locally advanced rectal cancer (T3/4 or N1/2) from locally early rectal cancer (T1/2, N0). Logistic regression was used to construct separate prediction models for T stage and N stage. The models' predictive performance was ...
Current approaches for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) typically recommend neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) with 5-fluorouracil (5FU) or its oral analogs followed by surgery as the standard of care. However, the question of whether intensifying concurrent chemotherapy by adding oxaliplatin to...

This SPIO enhanced MRI to enhance nodal resolution is under investigation and has shown promising results in rectal cancer[14,15]. Use of this agent in patients who have complete response after LCRT can be potentially used to identify patients (no lymph node involvement) who may be candidates ...
