Preoperative staging of rectal cancer.
Detailed preoperative staging using high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables the selection of patients that require preoperative therapy for tumour regression. This information can be used to instigate neoadjuvant therapy in those patients with poor prognostic features prior to disturbing the tumour bed and potentially disseminating disease. The design of trials incorporating MR...
متن کاملPreoperative imaging staging of rectal cancer.
Carcinomas of the rectum are associated with a significant local and distant recurrence rate. Not all patients are appropriate candidates for preoperative radiation therapy. Preoperative identification of those most likely to benefit from neoadjuvant therapy is important. There is no general consensus on the role of endorectal ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance im...
متن کاملPreoperative rectal cancer staging with phased-array MR
BACKGROUND We retrospectively reviewed magnetic resonance (MR) images of 96 patients with diagnosis of rectal cancer to evaluate tumour stage (T stage), involvement of mesorectal fascia (MRF), and nodal metastasis (N stage).Our gold standard was histopathology. METHODS All studies were performed with 1.5-T MR system (Symphony; Siemens Medical System, Erlangen, Germany) by using a phased-array...
متن کاملEvolving standards in preoperative staging and treatment of rectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer has become the commonest cancer in Hong Kong since 2011 and rectal cancer constitutes about one third of all colorectal cancers.1 Rectal cancer has a much higher local recurrence rate of about 10% than colon cancer.2 Hence, stern efforts must be made to safeguard patients from recurrence during the management of rectal cancer. In current practice, good oncological outcome with...
متن کاملPreoperative staging of rectal cancer: the MERCURY research project.
The development of a surgical technique that removes the tumour and all local draining nodes in an intact package, namely total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery, has provided the impetus for a more selective approach to the administration of preoperative therapy. One of the most important factors that governs the success of TME surgery is the relationship of tumour to the circumferential resec...
