Clinical, MRI, and PET-CT Criteria Used by Surgeons to Determine Suitability for Pelvic Exenteration Surgery for Recurrent Rectal Cancers

Abstract

This study has identified a set of criteria considered by experts to be important in evaluating patients' suitability for pelvic exenteration surgery. Evaluation of these criteria is required to determine their clinical utility in predicting a negative resection margin at pelvic exenteration surgery.
