Mark Lewis: Rectal cancer is perhaps now the GI cancer par excellence for multidisciplinary treatment planning

Mark Lewis shared a post by Krishan Jethwa, GI Radiation Oncologist at Mayo Clinic, on X:

We literally used this as part of discussion at tumor board today
Rectal cancer is perhaps now the GI cancer par excellence (not forgetting about esophageal or pancreatic, of course) for multidisciplinary treatment planning.

Look forward to refining management further at ASCO24.

Quoting Krishan Jethwa‘s post:

ARS AUC for Non-Operative Management for Rectal Cancer Congrats to Chris Anker and the ARS GI Committee for this systematic review on organ preservation and selective local therapy options for patients with rectal cancer.
