Article Synopsis
- The PRECINCT study is a multicenter analysis of surgical documentation and disease incidence in patients with peritoneal tumors, focusing on the surgical peritoneal cancer index (sPCI) and its variations across centers.
- Among 707 enrolled patients from September 2020 to December 2021, the study found that different morphological terminologies were used to describe peritoneal lesions, with the most common being "normal peritoneum," "tumor nodules," and "confluent disease."
- The research revealed that the incidence of pathologically confirmed disease was higher in cases with more severe lesion scores and suggested that using frozen section analysis could be beneficial, indicating the need for larger studies correlating imaging and pathology.
Background: Many data suggest that patients with low rectal adenocarcinoma who achieved ypT0N0 status have improved survival and disease-free survival (DFS) compared to all other stages however only few data are available regarding the specific prognosis factors of this subgroup. This study aimed to evaluate predictive factors for disease free survival after complete pathological response (CPR) in cases of low rectal adenocarcinoma.
Materials And Methods: From January 2005 to December 2013, all patients with low rectal adenocarcinoma who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by total mesorectal excision and achieved CPR were included at 7 Moroccan and 1 Algerian centres.
