## Abstract ## Background Transected tumour in a circumferential line of resection after excision of rectal cancer carries a high likelihood of local recurrence. The aim of this study was to identify independent risk factors for transected tumour and to examine their temporal variability. ## Meth

## Abstract Total mesorectal excision (TME) appears to be associated with a reduced local recurrence rate following surgery for rectal cancer. Of 20 patients with rectal cancer in whom TME was performed, adenocarcinoma was found in the distal mesorectum in four. Distal mesorectal spread often exten
## Abstract ## Background Mobilization of rectal cancer can be difficult if the tumour is located anteriorly and may result in a higher incidence of local recurrence. The aim of this study was to determine whether local recurrence and survival following curative resection of rectal cancer were ass
Nuclear morphometric features including nuclear area (NA), nuclear perimeter (PE), their variation (SDNA, SDPE), and mean largest and smallest nuclear diameters (Dmax, Dmin) were examined in 116 patients with stage I-II gastric adenocarcinoma. Morphometric measurements were compared with tumour diff
