Automatic segmentation of rectal tumor on diffusion-weighted images by deep learning with U-Net. [PDF]
Purpose Manual delineation of a rectal tumor on a volumetric image is time‐consuming and subjective. Deep learning has been used to segment rectal tumors automatically on T2‐weighted images, but automatic segmentation on diffusion‐weighted imaging is ...

Short-term outcome in robotic vs laparoscopic and open rectal tumor surgery within an ERAS protocol: a retrospective cohort study from the Swedish ERAS database. [PDF]
Advantages of robotic technique over laparoscopic technique in rectal tumor surgery have yet to be proven. Large multicenter, register-based cohort studies within an optimized perioperative care protocol are lacking.

MRI interobserver reliability in rectal tumor angulation [PDF]
Background When rectal tumors are examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the perpendicular angulation of the axial T2-weighted image to the tumor axis is essential for a correct measure of the shortest distance between tumor and mesorectal facia.

Management of rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumor [PDF]
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. However, rectal GIST is rare, the incident rate of it is approximately 5% of all GISTs. Rectal GIST symptoms generally include bleeding and/or pain and occasionally, urinary symptoms.

Predictors of tumor recurrence after rectal cancer surgery [PDF]
The prognosis of colorectal cancer depends on a multitude of factors that can be grouped into several categories: tumor-related factors, clinical factors, histopathological factors, and biological factors (oncogenetic and molecular). Colorectal cancer is
