Effects of Neoadjuvant Treatments on Mesorectal Computed Tomography Values and Tumor Regression in Rectal Cancer
Both CRT and high ΔCTV were associated with good TRG in rectal cancer. CRT generally increased ΔCTV, suggesting the induction of mesorectal edema. Despite this unfavorable condition for dissecting the surgical plane, short-term surgical outcomes were better with CRT than with ST owing to greater tumor shrinkage.
