Radiotherapy is a highly effective, targeted therapy for the management of cancer.
Technological innovations have enabled the direct integration of imaging technology into …

OBJECTIVE. MRI is the modality of choice for rectal cancer staging. The high soft-tissue
contrast of MRI accurately assesses the extramural tumor spread and relation to mesorectal …

Objectives To develop and validate a radiomics predictive model based on pre-treatment
multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and clinical features to predict a …

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of baseline 18 F-FDG
PET/CT textural analysis in locally-advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Methods Eighty-six …

Precision medicine is evolving to include a variety of data to optimize patient care and
improve outcome. Multimodality imaging is paving the way toward this goal. PET/CT with 18 …

Background Patient selection for organ sparing treatment after good response to neo‐
adjuvant chemoradiation (CRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer is challenging as no …

Background To perform a metaanalysis to determine and compare the diagnostic
performance of MRI, endorectal ultrasonography (ERUS), and computed tomography (CT) in …

Rectal cancer is a common cancer and a major cause of mortality in Western countries.
Accurate staging is essential for determining the optimal treatment strategies and planning …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the predictive value of 18F-FDG
PET/CT for pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced …

Purpose The present study aimed to identify a panel of potential metabolite biomarkers to
predict tumor response to neoadjuvant chemo-radiation therapy (NCRT) in locally advanced …
