Association of CT features with TNM stage and pathology of patients with rectal cancer and their significance in evaluation of efficacy and prognosis.

CONCLUSIONS: CT scan plays an important role in the preoperative staging of rectal cancer, which is helpful for judging the tumor site and infiltration, and highly accurate for T1-T2 lesions, but has limitations for lymph node metastasis. CT scan also has great value for distant metastasis, and contributes to the development of clinical therapeutic regimens for patients with rectal cancer in different stages. CT stage has an influence on the prognosis and patient survival. PMID: 32862586 [PubMed - in process]
