Background: Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) poses a significantly challenge in clinical management, requiring a multimodal treatment approach. Among innovative strategies, Total Neoadjuvant Therapy (TNT) has emerged, delivering all planned chemotherapy before surgery.
Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the real-world application and efficacy of TNT and to compare it with the non-TNT standard strategy.
Article Synopsis
- AI is revolutionizing gastroenterology, particularly in coloproctology, by improving diagnosis, treatment, and overall patient care.
- Notable applications include colonoscopy, where AI helps detect polyps and early signs of colorectal cancer, and capsule endoscopy, which ensures quick and accurate video readings for various anomalies.
- The article reviews current AI implementations in coloproctology and discusses potential future developments in the field.
Introduction: Discussions about the optimal lymph node (LN) count and its therapeutic consequences have persisted over time. The final LN count in colorectal tissues is affected by a variety of variables (patient, tumor, operation, pathologist, immune response). Methylene blue (MB) intra-arterial injection is a simple and inexpensive procedure that can be used to enhance lymph node count.

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of AL on long-term survival of patients undergoing curative colon cancer resection.
Methods: A single-centre retrospective cohort study was designed.
