Magnetic resonance imaging for clinical management of rectal cancer: Updated recommendations from the 2016 European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) consensus meeting (2017, background): “It has even been suggested that nodal staging by imaging should be discarded altogether, because of known staging inaccuracies and because it has been suggested that patients with ‘good prognostic’ tumours (defined on MRI as ≤cT3b stage without MRF involvement) have good outcomes regarding survival ”
Rectal cancer: ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. (2017, positive): “This is particularly valid because data suggest a low risk of local recurrence if the surgeon routinely carries out good-quality TME and removes the mesorectal nodes en bloc [27, 51].”
