🧪 A study from @MirandaKusters and colleagues sought to determine the prognostic value of lateral #lymphnode size and malignant features - such as internal heterogeneity, irregular margins, and more - in patients with advanced #rectalcancer: buff.ly/4cwfIMG

A 50% reduction in radiotherapy use for non-locally advanced rectal cancer did not compromise cancer-related outcomes at a national level. Optimizing clinical staging and surgery has enabled safe de-intensification of treatment. ja.ma/4bH74dO @mirandakusters @sannehazen

Publication alert: node picking or partial LLND do not decrease lateral recurrence risk in rectal cancer patients with enlarged nodes. In the LaNoReC these patients undergo a complete LLND aiming to lower the risk to <6% pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3734… #SoMe4Surgery #rectalcancerresearch

The renewed Dutch delineation guideline has been approved by the Dutch GI radiotherapy association (LPRGE)! This guideline will guarantee uniform delineation and coverage of lateral lymph nodes in the LaNoReC study. Want to join the next online training? lanorec@amsterdamumc.nl
