Why is it important?

It is important to achieve a balance between an aggressive approach and so-called meaningless “surgical exorbitance” in locally advanced colorectal cancer and avoid a widespread palliative approach in those tumors.

Perspectives

The main perspective would be elaboration of precise criteria for resectability in locally advanced colorectal cancer, as well as locoregional recurrence (especially in recurrent rectal cancer) with involvement of surrounding structures and organs.
