Dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging for rectal cancer response assessment after neo‐adjuvant chemoradiation

Background Patient selection for organ sparing treatment after good response to neo‐adjuvant chemoradiation (CRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer is challenging as no optimal restaging modality is available after CRT. In this study, we assessed the value of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE‐MRI) for rectal cancer pathological response prediction. Methods In 51 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, the tumor...
