High-performance CT features supporting accurate pre-operative tumor staging in colon cancer by Jianhua Yuan, Cangzheng Jin, Jianrong Si, Baobao Liu, Xiaohan Si, Jianzhi Chen

“…Histologically, the presence of the above five CT features (large protuberances, extensive reticulonodular fat stranding, fusion with surrounding organs, ascites, and extra-fascial nodules/streaks) reflect the farther and deeper infiltration of tumor cells in serosa or retroperitoneal fascia involvement.ConclusionOur studies have identified multiple CT features that are practically useful in identifying and differentiating different stages of colon cancer prior to surgical procedures. These high-performance markers will provide valuable insights to the clinicians in making appropriate decisions in the management of patients with colon cancer.…”
