The image biomarker standardisation initiative (IBSI) is an independent international collaboration which works towards standardising the extraction of biomarkers from acquired imaging for purpose high-throughput quantitative analysis (radiomics). Lack reproducibility and validation studies considered to be a major challenge field. Part this lies in scantiness consensus-based guidelines definitions process translating into biomarkers. IBSI therefore seeks provide nomenclature definitions,...
The purpose of this study was to develop accurate models and nomograms predict local recurrence, distant metastases, survival for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated long-course chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery allow a selection who may benefit most from postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy close follow-up.All data (N = 2,795) five major European clinical trials were pooled used perform an extensive analysis multivariate based on Cox regression. Data one trial as...
In 10–24% of patients with rectal cancer who are treated neoadjuvant chemoradiation, no residual tumor is found after surgery (ypT0). When accurately selected, these complete responders might be considered for less invasive treatments instead standard surgery. So far, imaging method has proven reliable. This study was designed to assess the accuracy diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) in addition selection chemoradiation. A total 120 locally advanced from three university hospitals underwent...
Patients with early-onset colorectal cancer (eoCRC) are managed according to guidelines that not age-specific. A multidisciplinary international group (DIRECt), composed of 69 experts, was convened develop the first evidence-based consensus recommendations for eoCRC.
Purpose Although combined-modality therapy (CMT) is the preferred treatment for T3 and/or lymph node (LN)-positive rectal cancer, German cancer study published in 2004 demonstrated that 18% of patients deemed suitable preoperative CMT by endorectal ultrasound (ERUS) may be overstaged. Because data also suggest LN-negative after total mesorectal excision not require radiotherapy, it reasonable to consider omitting radiotherapy cT3N0 subset. We therefore determined accuracy pre-CMT ERUS or...
To prospectively differentiate, at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, patients with locally advanced nonmucinous rectal cancer who will respond to long-course chemotherapy and radiation therapy (CRT) from those not respond, histopathologic results as the reference standard.Institutional review board approval for this study was obtained, all provided written informed consent. High-spatial-resolution T2-weighted MR images were acquired before 6-8 weeks after CRT in 53 (33 men, 20 women; mean...
