Is tumour location a dominant risk factor of recurrence in early rectal cancer?
This study shows that tumour location significantly affects incidence of recurrence in early RC, with an increasing risk for mid and especially distal location, found to be a predominant risk factor of recurrence. Our findings stress the need for an increased awareness on differences in oncologic outcome related to tumour location in early RC.
