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

Background Despite radiotherapy and improved surgical techniques, local recurrence rates
after treatment of rectal cancer still vary between 3 and 30 per cent. Tumour involvement of …

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

Objective To assess the accuracy of preoperative staging of rectal cancer with magnetic
resonance imaging to predict surgical circumferential resection margins. Design Prospective …

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

INTRODUCTION:: This study was designed to assess whether preoperative magnetic
resonance imaging scans were able to predict 1) pathologic tumor and node stage, and 2) …

Objective: To assess local recurrence, disease-free survival, and overall survival in magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI)–predicted good prognosis tumors treated by surgery alone …

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 …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of thin-section magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (in-
plane resolution, 0.6× 0.6 mm) in the preoperative assessment of the depth of extramural …
