BACKGROUND: The unique anatomical characteristics and blood supply of the rectosigmoid junction confer particular significance to its physiological functions and clinical surgeries. However, research on the prognosis of rectosigmoid junction cancer (...
Minimally invasive surgery is complex and prone to variation not routinely objectively measured. We established an association between skills and patient outcomes. The evolving application of artificial intelligence techniques could assist intraopera...

PURPOSE: To compare image quality and clinical utility of a T2-weighted (T2W) 3-dimensional (3D) fast spin echo (FSE) sequence using deep learning reconstruction (DLR) versus conventional reconstruction for rectal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Ensemble learning can effectively mitigate the risk of model overfitting during training. This study aims to evaluate the performance of ensemble learning models in predicting tumor deposits in rectal cancer (RC) and identify the optimal model for pr...
BACKGROUND: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging is the preferred modality for staging in rectal cancer; however, despite its exceptional soft tissue contrast, segmenting rectal tumors on MR images remains challenging due to the overlapping appearance of ...
No studies have examined the prognostic value of the log odds of negative lymph nodes/T stage (LONT) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). We aimed to assess the prognostic value of LONT and devel...
PURPOSE: Fluorescence imaging is critical for intraoperative intestinal perfusion assessment in colorectal surgery, yet its clinical adoption remains limited by subjective interpretation and lack of quantitative standards. This study introduces an in...
To explore the value of applying the MRI-based radiomic nomogram for predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) in rectal cancer (RC). This retrospective analysis used data from 430 patients with RC from two medical centers. The patients were categorized...
BACKGROUND: Delayed closure of a temporary ileostomy in patients with rectal cancer may cause psychological, physiological, and socioeconomic burdens to patients.

PURPOSE: Chemotherapy administration is a balancing act between giving enough to achieve the desired tumour response while limiting adverse effects. Chemotherapy dosing is based on body surface area (BSA). Emerging evidence suggests body composition ...
