Background To achieve better prognosis and quality of life for patients with rectal cancer,
extent of surgery and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy should accurately reflect disease …

Background: Preoperative staging is essential for planning of optimal therapy for patients
with rectal cancer. Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used frequently because …

BACKGROUND: Few studies that meticulously match individual lymph nodes seen on MRI
with their precise histologic counterparts after total mesorectal excision have been reported …

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MRI for predicting the circumferential
resection margin (CRM), mesorectal fascia (MRF) invasion, and the tumor response to …

AIM: The purpose of this multicenter cohort study was to evaluate whether a differentiated
treatment of primary rectal cancer based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reduce …

Objective The aims were to determine agreement between staging of rectal cancer made by
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathological examination and the influence of …

Background The aim was to determine the accuracy of preoperative magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of pathological prognostic factors that influence local …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of 3-Tesla magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) for the preoperative staging of rectal cancer. Thirty-five patients with a primary …

The prognosis of rectal cancer is strongly related to several factors that include the depth of
tumor invasion into and beyond the bowel wall, 1 the number of lymph nodes involved with …

AIM: To discuss the ability of pre-operative MRI to have a beneficial effect on surgical
performance and treatment outcome in patients with rectal cancer. METHODS: A description …
