Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, with an increasing incidence rate in developing countries. Integration of genetic information with cancer therapy guidance has shown promise in cancer treatment, indicating its poten...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate whether a deep learning (DL) model based on preoperative MR images of primary tumors can predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with stage T1-2 rectal cancer.
Robotic colorectal procedures may overcome the disadvantages of laparoscopic surgery. While the literature has multiple studies from specialized centers, experience from general surgeons is minimal. The purpose of this case series is to review electi...
Many transanal platforms have recently evolved to manage rectal pathologies. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and transanal laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) have been developed to address the limitations of conventional transana...
BACKGROUND: There are various preoperative treatments that are useful for controlling local or distant metastases in lower rectal cancer. For planning perioperative management, preoperative stratification of optimal treatment strategies for each case...
Segmentation of rectal cancerous regions from Magnetic Resonance (MR) images can help doctor define the extent of the rectal cancer and judge the severity of rectal cancer, so rectal tumor segmentation is crucial to improve the accuracy of rectal can...
