The mesorectum in rectal cancer surgery—the clue to pelvic recurrence?
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Five cases are described where minute foci of adenocarcinoma have been demonstrated in the mesorectum several centimetres distal to the apparent lower edge of a rectal cancer, and these operations have been carried out as a part of over 100 consecutive anterior resections.
