Monitoring early changes in rectal tumor morphology and volume during 5  weeks of preoperative chemoradiotherapy - An evaluation with sequential MRIs.

CONCLUSION: Results of this exploratory pilot study suggest that changes in rectal tumor morphology (fibrosis) and volume can already be observed early during radiation, both when measured quantitatively and when assessed visually. These changes appear to be indicative of the final treatment outcome. PMID: 29343409 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
