Objective: To assess the influence of endorectal filling (EF) on rectal cancer staging.
Methods: 47 patients who underwent a staging MRI of rectal cancer in the period from 2011 …

AIM: To determine the accuracy of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using
phased-array coil for preoperative assessment of T staging and mesorectal fascia infiltration …

has important treatment implications. Our main objective was to compare the diagnostic …

Background: Endorectal Ultrasonography (EUS-ERUS) and pelvic magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) are world-wide performed for the local staging of rectal cancer (RC), but no …

The aim was to study the influence of mesorectal volume, as estimated by magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), that is to be removed during total mesorectal excision (TME), on …

OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to determine whether rectal distention influences the
accuracy of MRI for tumor staging and for measuring of maximal extramural depth of tumor …

A correct preoperative staging of rectal cancer is important because overall survival and
disease-free survival are dependent on TN stage and treatment method. Initially endorectal …

Purpose To assess the usefulness of rectal filling using ultrasonographic gel in patients with
lower rectal cancer. Materials and Methods Twenty five patients with lower rectal cancer …

Rectal cancer is one of the most frequent neoplasias, with an incidence of 40 in 100 000. For
the effective use of new, differentiated treatment options, exact preoperative tumour staging …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with rectal protocol modification is a reliable staging
modality which is rapidly replacing transrectal ultrasound for staging. The added information …
