Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: i. Patients with rectal adenocarcinoma who underwent neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery ii. Availability of restaging high-resolution rectal MRI iii. More than 75% of mucin on tumor on T2WI based on visual assessment

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: i. Recurrent rectal cancer ii. Poor image quality (no high resolution T2WI) iii. Final pathology not available from the institute

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Texture analysis of rectal tumors will be performed using a machine learning algorithm. These features will be used to build a predictive model to predict response being complete or not complete.Timepoint: The data will be analyzed in June 2022.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
NATimepoint: NA
