Core Tip

Core Tip: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is frequently encountered as a malignant neoplasm in clinical settings. The initial signs are typically subtle, leading to the majority of cases being identified during the intermediate to advanced phases. Early detection and accurate diagnosis of CRC are important for improving treatment efficacy and patient prognosis. We examined a cohort of 95 individuals diagnosed with CRC and assessed the practical effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging with spiral computed tomography in evaluating the preoperative staging and prognosis of laparoscopic treatment for CRC. The combination was found to be effective and of clinical significance.
