Résumé
Purpose
Circumferential resection margin (CRM) involvement after intersphincteric resection (ISR) is uncommon but clinically important. We evaluated the association of CRM status and adverse histopathologic features with recurrence after ISR following neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
