Core Tip

Core Tip: This study explored the application and value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging parameters and serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and CA125 Levels in evaluating the T stage and differentiation degree of rectal carcinoma (RC). The results show that these assessment tools have significant predictive ability and may improve the diagnostic accuracy of RC. In addition, our research highlights the importance of a deeper understanding of the biological characteristics and disease progression of RC. The comprehensive use of these tools can help doctors provide more personalized treatment programs for patients and improve patient outcomes.
