Histological and photoacoustic evaluation of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy using microvascular density
Microvascular density appears highest in cases of complete tumour response to neoadjuvant therapy, similar to normal rectal tissue. The histological microvascular patterns seen in treated tissue may explain the imaging patterns seen in photoacoustic microscopy.
