Summary

Early rectal cancer can be removed by minimally-invasive surgery, and the standard pathological assessment of the removed tumour gives valuable information about how advanced the tumour is. This gives an indication of how likely the cancer is to recur, so doctors and patient can decide on the most appropriate further treatment and follow-up. However there is still much uncertainty in these predictions about recurrence. This study will assess two further pathology tests, ploidy and stroma ratio in the tumour, by correlating the results with outcome. This will determine whether these two tests provide additional value in predicting outcome. If so, clinicians would be better able to advise patients with early rectal cancer about their prognosis and further management.
