Is transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) a valid treatment for rectal tumors?
The advantages of TEM are less or no postoperative pain, unrestricted mobility, short hospitalization, quick rehabilitation, and absence of skin scars.
A higher pretreatment total MTV is associated with worse outcome, independent of yp stage, in patients with stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC treated with neoadjuvant CCRT followed by surgery.
