Comparison between MRI and pathology in the assessment of tumour regression grade in rectal cancer.
(2017-11)
Background Limited data exist regarding the correlation between MRI tumour regression grade (mrTRG) and pathological TRG (pTRG) in rectal cancer.Methods mrTRG and pTRG were compared in rectal cancer patients from two phase ...
