- Abstract
Although the standard of care for T3 and/or N1-2 rectal cancers includes adjuvant chemoradiation, it is unclear whether T3 N0 patients with limited microscopic perirectal fat invasion warrant further therapy. Our aim was to determine the prognostic significance of gross perirectal fat invasion, or depth of microscopic perirectal fat invasion, in T3 N0 rectal cancers following sharp mesorectal excision and no adjuvant therapy.
