Core Tip
Core Tip: Currently, a growing focus exists on the application of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with rectal cancer (RC). However, there remains a lack of sufficient research on the correlation between preoperative MRI features and the risk of recurrence after radical resection of RC, necessitating further in-depth exploration. In this study, a retrospective analysis was conducted on preoperative MRI data from 90 patients with RC, combined with their basic characteristics and tumor markers. The findings revealed that preoperative MRI is of great significance in predicting the risk of postoperative recurrence in patients with RC.
