The accuracy of High Resolution Magnetic Resonance in local staging of rectal cancer
Objective: To assess the accuracy of preoperative staging of rectal cancer with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and illustrate the correlation of MR imaging with pathologic findings and clinical impact of MR imaging in this setting. Methods: Total of 447 patients with rectal cancer between 01.04.2009-31.03.2010 underwent MRI in our department. 76 patients with suspected or confirmed rectal car...
متن کاملEfficacy of High Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Preoperative Local Staging of Rectal Cancer
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) for preoperative local staging in patients with rectal cancer who did not receive preoperative radiochemotherapy. METHODS In this retrospective study, 30 patients with biopsy proved primary rectal cancer were evaluated by HRMRI. Two observers independently scored the tumour and lymph node stages, and circum...
متن کاملNew drug in neoadjuvant chemoradiation for rectal cancer
Background: In recent years, neoadjuvant chemoradiation and subsequent surgical resection with total mesorectal excision has been shown to increase local control with decreased toxicity. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer. In this study we evaluated the efficacy a cox-2 inhibitor on pathologic response, sphincter preservation and acute tox...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging versus clinical staging in cervical cancer.
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is the third most common gynecological cancer and a widespread malignancy in women, accounting for a large proportion of the cancer burden in developing countries. We compared accuracy of MRI staging with clinical staging and also concordance between the two methods for newly diagnosed patients with cervical cancer, using clinical staging as the reference. MATERIALS...
