Abstract
INTRODUCTION:Transrectal ultrasound is the standard method for preoperative staging of rectal cancer. This study reviews the accuracy of transrectal ultrasound staging for T3 disease and its use in the selection of patients for neoadjuvant chemoradiation.METHODS:One hundred seventeen patientKeywords
