Imaging the tumour microenvironment in rectal cancer: Decline in tumour blood flow during radiotherapy predicts good outcome

Background and purpose: Measuring rectal tumour response to radiation is pivotal to restaging patients and for possibly stratification to a watch-and-wait strategy. Recognizing the importance of the tumour microenvironment, we investigated a less explored quantitative imaging marker assessing tumour...
