摘要

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to discuss the importance of lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis as a predictor of local recurrence and survival in patients with advanced rectal cancer.

Diffusion-weighted MRI or 18F-FDG PET/CT may be helpful to assesses lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis.
