This review on recently published literature aims to summarize published data on pathologic complete response following neoadjuvant treatment in biopsy proven locally advanced rectal cancer patients. Published articles referring to pCR rectal cancer patients were identified using PubMed search. Eleven relevant articles were selected, based on tumor, treatment, and patient characteristics reporting. As a conclusion, rectal cancer patients with the highest chances of complete clinical or pathological response to neoadjuvant treatment are males, who are around 60 years, diagnosed with well or moderate differentiated locally advanced rectal cancer.

Risk factors for anastomotic leakage in rectal cancer surgery reflecting current practices.
Surg Today
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Yokohama City University Hospital, 3-9, Fukuura, Kanazawa-Ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa, 236-0004, Japan.
Purpose: In recent years, major advancements have been made in rectal cancer surgery with the introduction of new techniques such as robotic surgery and indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI). This study aimed to evaluate the comprehensive risk factors for anastomotic leakage (AL) following rectal cancer surgery, incorporating recently introduced techniques and other existing factors, to reflect current practices.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 304 patients who underwent either robotic or laparoscopic anterior resection between January 2019 and December 2023.

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is a minimally invasive approach for excising rectal polyps, particularly those with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or early-stage rectal cancer (T1). This study aimed to evaluate the recurrence risk and its associated factors in patients treated with TEM for HGD and T1 rectal tumors. A retrospective review was conducted on 79 patients who underwent TEM for rectal lesions at Rabin Medical Center-Hasharon Hospital from 2005 to 2019.
