Dentate line invasion as a predictive factor of poor distant relapse-free survival in locally advanced lower rectal cancer with anal sphincter involvement

Dentate line invasion as a predictive factor of poor distant relapse-free survival in locally advanced lower rectal cancer with anal sphincter involvement

Abstract Background While an important surgical landmark of the dentate line has been established for locally advanced lower rectal cancer (LALRC), the prognostic significance of dentate line invasion (DLI) has not been well defined. This study aimed to explore the impact of DLI on prognosis in LALR...
