Clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of rectal cancer patients across different mrT3 substages determined by rectal MRI
Despite mrT3c/d patients presenting with more aggressive baseline features, standardized NCRT followed by radical surgery effectively mitigated survival disparities across mrT3 substages. These findings suggest that mrT3 subclassification may not independently predict long-term survival outcomes when patients receive optimal multimodal therapy.
