Locoregional relapses in the ACCORD 12/0405-PRODIGE 02 study: Dosimetric study and risk factors
2021, Radiotherapy and OncologyCitation Excerpt :We found a low rate of inguinal relapse (0.7%). Risk of inguinal involvement has been reported to be rather low in rectal cancer, with below 1% involvement even in low rectal cancers [27,32–34]. Roels et al. and Valentini et al. recommend irradiation of this region only if there is an involvement of the lower vagina or an extensive involvement of the external sphincter [13,27].
Rectal Cancer: Staging
2020, Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The likelihood of nodal metastases increases with the T stage of the tumor, occurring in up to 50% of patients with stage T4 disease.36 Lateral pelvic sidewall nodal dissemination occurs in 10% to 25% of patients with rectal cancer,37 more often in low cancers.38,39 Involved sidewall nodes increase the risk of systemic dissemination.38
