Abstract:
Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is a part of the current standard treatment mode for locally advanced rectal cancer,which enables a certain proportion of patients to achieve complete tumor response,improving the surgical resection rate and anal retention rate,and then prolonging the disease-free survival period of patients.MRI is the preferred imaging examination to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy.With the development of functional MRI,quantitative parameters derived from different imaging principles can provide more biological information about tumors,improving the clinical application value of MRI.Multi-parameter MRI combining conventional MRI sequences and functional sequences can more comprehensively evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy,which is conducive to developing individualized treatment plans for patients in clinical practice and realize precision medicine.
