Drainage Fluid Amylase as a Biomarker for the Detection of Anastomotic Leakage After Low Anterior Resection of Rectal Cancer: A Two-center Study
Measuring DFA is a non-invasive, simple and cost-effective method for early AL detection in patients with rectal cancer undergoing LAR. Our findings also suggested that drain placement may be useful for the early detection of AL through DFA measurement.
