NOTE: cTNM is the clinical classification, pTNM is the pathologic classification. The y prefix is used for those cancers that are classified after neoadjuvant pretreatment (for example, ypTNM). Patients who have a complete pathologic response are ypTONOcMO that may be similar to Stage Group 0 or 1. The r prefix is to be used for those cancers that have recurred after a disease-free interval (rTNM). *Dukes B is a composite of better (T3 NO MO) and worse (T4 N0 M0) prognostic groups, as is Dukes C (any TN1 M0 and Any T N2 M0). MAC is the modified Astler-Coller classification
RECTAL CANCER MID AND LOW RECTAL CANCER Location of rectal tumors: Low rectal cancer: up until 5 cm of the anal verge Mid rectal cancer: 5 to 10 cm of the anal verge High rectal cancer: 10 to 15 cm of the anal verge – peritonization on the anterior and lateral portions. High rectal cancer will be treated as colon cancer. In this situation radiotherapy will not be recommended.
INITIAL DISEASE STAGING I Initial Evaluation: - Colonoscopy - Rectal NMR - Thorax, upper abdomen and pelvic CT - Laboratory tests including CBC, liver and kidney functions, LDH and CEA - PET-CT – in patients with potentially resectable metastasis - Endorectal ultrasound, if available, if it is a N0 radiological disease TREATMENT ALGORITHM T1Nx, negative margins
