摘要
The availability of tools that can accurately measure response is critical for the selection of patients with rectal cancer who can be offered organ-saving treatmentAfter preoperative chemoradiotherapy, endorectal ultrasonography and MRI are limited in the detection of small tumour remnants within the fibrotic tumour bedFunctional MRI combines detailed information on tumour morphology with that on the tumour biological microenvironment and provides comprehensive information on tumour heterogeneityDiffusion-weighted imaging, as a qualitative measure of response is promising for the assessment of clinical complete response, but the evidence so far is mainly from single-centre expert studiesIt is too early to conclude that perfusion magnetic resonance biomarkers could have a role as a measure of response, and many issues need to be resolvedThe future of response evaluation with imaging lies in further exploitation of all information that is within medical images
