Correlation between endorectal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and final histological examination in patients undergoing surgery for rectal cancer: a monocentric study on the first 50 cases
ERUS and MRI are essential for rectal cancer diagnostics. ERUS is superior for early stages and lymph node evaluation, whereas MRI excels in advanced stages (T3 and T4). In NAT patients, ERUS remains favourable, but MRI's sensitivity and specificity improve for lymph node assessment.
