- Abstract
Circumferential resection margin involvement (CRMI) after resection of rectal cancer is regarded as a risk factor for local recurrence. We have been able to identify only nine peer-reviewed English-language publications which focus primarily on this association, and they report widely differing rates of local recurrence. The aims of this study were to review possible reasons for this variability and to assess the evidence for the micrometrically measured threshold defining CRMI.
