چکیده
Methods and materials MR images of 39 patients (15 underwent surgery without pre-operative treatment, while 24 had undergone pre-operative CRT or radiotherapy prior to MRI) with diagnosis of rectal cancer to evaluate tumour stage (T stage), involvement of mesorectal fascia (MRF), and nodal metastasis (N stage) were included in the study. Tumours were staged according to the TNM staging system (American Joint Committee on Cancer guidelines).

Introduction: Rectal cancer staging provides critical information concerning the extent of the disease. The information gained from staging is used to determine prognosis, to guide management, and to assess response to therapy. Accurate staging is essential for directing the multidisciplinary approach to therapy. This study focuses on the evaluation of MRI in preoperative staging of rectal canc...

Rectal cancer carries poor prognosis because of metastasis and local recurrence. Local recurrence has a profound effect on morbidity and quality of life. Therefore, preoperative staging of rectal cancer has an important impact on treatment plan. The main factor in predicting the local recurrence is the circumferential resection margin (CRM). Surgical resection with stage-appropriate neoadjuvant...
