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 …

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) …

PURPOSE: This study was designed to evaluate prospectively magnetic resonance imaging
for the prediction of the circumferential resection margin in rectal cancer to identify in which …

Objective It has been suggested that MRI may be used as the sole modality of choice in pre‐
operative staging in rectal cancers. Knowledge of tumour stage and a threatened …

Background This study was designed to identify factors related to inaccurate prediction of
circumferential resection margin (CRM) and the extent of mesorectal invasion (EMI) in T3 …

Background: Rectal cancer constitutes about one-third of all gastrointestinal (GI) tract
