Rectal MRI Interpretation After Neoadjuvant Therapy

Natally Horvat et al.

Summary: In recent years, there have been significant advancements in the management of locally advanced rectal cancer, including surgical approaches, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and organ preservation strategies. This review focuses on the role of rectal MRI in assessing treatment response after neoadjuvant therapy and discusses the challenges and methods in evaluating treatment response.

Rectal Sparing Approach After Neoadjuvant Therapy in Patients with Rectal Cancer: The Preliminary Results of the ReSARCh Trial

Francesco Marchegiani et al.

Summary: The short-term outcomes of rectum-preservation for locally advanced rectal cancer patients achieving major clinical response or complete clinical response after neoadjuvant therapy were reported in the study. Transanal local excision for patients achieving cCR or mCR is safe, with an increased cCR rate seen when there is a 12-week interval from chemoradiotherapy completion to LE. Performing LE after achieving cCR reduces the risk of ypT >.

Summary: Lateral lymph nodes in low, locally advanced, rectal cancer have significant implications for local recurrence rates. However, there is currently no consensus on the treatment of lateral nodal disease, leading to challenges in multidisciplinary collaboration.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of long-term oncological outcomes of lateral lymph node dissection for metastatic nodes after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in rectal cancer

Hidde M. Kroon et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the long-term oncological outcomes of neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) with or without lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) in patients with pre-treatment metastatic lateral lymph nodes (LLNs). It was found that LLND reduced the risk of local recurrence, but did not significantly affect disease-free or overall survival.

Current controversies in TNM for the radiological staging of rectal cancer and how to deal with them: results of a global online survey and multidisciplinary expert consensus

Doenja M. J. Lambregts et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify the main problem areas in the applicability of the current TNM staging system for rectal cancer, and provide recommendations on how to handle them. A global case-based online survey was conducted, and 16 problem areas were identified, including issues with cT staging, disease definitions, mesorectal fascia involvement, evaluation of lymph nodes and tumor deposits, and staging of lateral lymph nodes. The recommendations derived from this study may serve as a practice guide and support tool for radiologists involved in the staging of rectal cancer.

Watch and wait: Why, to whom and how

Carlos Cerdan-Santacruz et al.

Summary: The current standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer includes neoadjuvant chemo-radiation followed by total mesorectal excision. However, the watch and wait strategy (W&W), which involves close surveillance without immediate surgery, has become an attractive alternative in selected patients who achieve complete tumor regression. This approach offers the potential benefits of avoiding radical surgery, but the risk of local tumor regrowth must be carefully considered. This article explores the advantages and disadvantages of W&W and highlights the key issues related to staging, treatment regimens, and tumor response assessment that need to be addressed for successful implementation of this strategy. In the context of contemporary neoadjuvant treatment regimens, achieving a clinical complete response is likely to impact a significant proportion of patients, and with evolving imaging technologies, W&W is expected to become an integral part of multidisciplinary management decisions.

Lymph Nodes Evaluation in Rectal Cancer: Where Do We Stand and Future Perspective

Alessandra Borgheresi et al.

Summary: The assessment of nodal involvement in rectal cancer patients is crucial for disease management, but the traditional dimensional and morphological criteria have limitations. Various imaging techniques have been introduced to improve the accuracy of nodal staging, and radiomics analysis has provided valuable evidence. Additionally, there are differences in recommendations for nodal evaluation in rectal cancer between European and North American guidelines.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of the Accuracy of Various Lymph Node Staging Criteria in Rectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Zixuan Zhuang et al.

Summary: This systematic review evaluated the diagnostic performance of MRI in lymph node staging for rectal cancer. The results showed that MRI scans have minimal accuracy as a reference index for pretreatment staging of various lymph node staging criteria in rectal cancer. It is recommended to use multiple types of evidence in clinical decision-making.

Prevalence of nodal involvement in rectal cancer after chemoradiotherapy

H. E. Haak et al.

Summary: This study found that the risk of nodal metastases (ypN+) after chemoradiotherapy increases with advancing ypT category in locally advanced rectal cancer patients. Patients with ypN+ disease had lower 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates than patients with ypN0 tumors, with ypN+ status being an independent predictor of recurrence and death. Therefore, the presence of residual cancer cells in lymph nodes following (chemo)radiotherapy should be considered in treatment decision-making, especially when contemplating organ-preserving strategies.
