You have a patient who underwent local excision of a rectal cancer. Final pathology demonstrates a T2 lesion. What is the rate of local recurrence? Is excision alone sufficient? Should the patient undergo radical resection or should chemoradiation be offered? Tune in to find out!
Join Drs. Peter Marcello, Jonathan Abelson, Tess Aulet and special guest Dr. Jose Guillem MD, MPH, MBA as they discuss high yield papers discussing local excision for Rectal Cancer.
Learning Objectives
1. Describe the features that increase risk of lymph node involvement in early stage rectal cancer
2. Discuss the different options for management of early-stage rectal cancer
3. Describe patient related factors that favor local excision of rectal cancer
