BACKGROUND This retrospective study included 103 patients diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma at a single center in Poland who underwent preoperative diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) and aimed to determine whether the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was an imaging marker for tumor invasion and regional lymph node involvement.

In 85 patients, surgery was preceded by long-course chemoradiotherapy (n=18) or short-course radiotherapy (n=67).
