Background: Disparities exist the management of rectal cancer. We sought to evaluate short-term surgical outcomes among different racial/ethnic groups following rectal cancer resection.
Materials And Methods: National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database (2016-2019) was queried. Patients undergoing rectal cancer resection were categorized by race/ethnicity. Circumferential resection margin positivity rate and postoperative outcomes were evaluated. 1:1 Propensity score matching (PSM) was used.
Results: Of 1,753 patients, 80.2 % were White, 7.6 % Black, 8.5 % Asian and 3.7 % Hispanic. On unadjusted analysis, Hispanic patients presented longer operative time( = 0.029), and Black patients higher postoperative ileus( = 0.003) and readmission( = 0.023) rates. After PSM, Hispanics had a significantly higher circumferential resection margin positivity rate( = 0.032), Black patients higher postoperative ileus rate( = 0.014) and longer LOS( = 0.0118) when compared to White counterparts.
Conclusion: Racial disparities were found in short-term postoperative outcomes. Hispanic patients presented higher margin positivity rate and Black patients worst 30-day postoperative outcomes. Comparative studies evaluating trends and a higher number of minority patients included in databases are warranted.

Background: The optimal management strategy for Stage IV rectal cancer with potentially treatable liver metastases remains controversial, particularly regarding the role of pelvic radiotherapy (RT).
Aims: We intend to investigate the impact of pelvic RT on oncological outcomes of rectal cancer with potentially treatable liver metastasis.
Methods And Results: This retrospective study included 83 patients diagnosed with rectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases from June 2012 to January 2022.

Background: Radiomics has emerged as a promising approach for diagnosing, treating, and evaluating the prognosis of various diseases in recent years. Some investigators have utilized radiomics to create preoperative diagnostic models for tumor deposits (TDs) and perineural invasion (PNI) in rectal cancer (RC). However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive, evidence-based support for the diagnostic performance of these models.

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) and selective use of adjuvant chemotherapy is currently considered the standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Despite this, the concept of organ preservation is gradually challenging this approach. The management of complete clinical remission (cCR) lacks international consensus, leading scholars to develop their own perspectives based on well-designed studies and long-term data from large multicenter cohorts.

Aim: Consensus is lacking regarding the management of extramesorectal lymph nodes (EMLN) in rectal cancer. Using simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiation therapy (SIB-IMRT), we targeted involved EMLN and reserved lateral pelvic lymph nodal dissection (LPLND) for nonresponders. The primary aim of this work was to determine the proportion of patients who avoided LPLND and to establish the pathological EMLN positivity rate.
