## Abstract ## 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 the circumferential resection margin (CRM) predicts a high risk of local recurrence. Magnetic resonan

## Background: The aim was to determine the accuracy of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in the evaluation of pathological prognostic factors that influence local recurrence and survival in rectal cancer. ## Methods: Ninety-eight patients undergoing total mesorectal excision for biop
## Abstract ## Background This study represents an initial experience with combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) (MRIβPET fusion) in the primary staging of rectal carcinoma. ## Methods A retrospective analysis of data recorde
